The V883 Ori system is a rapidly accreting young stellar object that has been used as a laboratory for studying the molecular inventory of young circumstellar disks with high luminosity. We simultaneously fit high-resolution spectroscopy and medium-resolution spectrophotometry of the system to constrain the physical conditions in the inner au. Using our thin viscous accretion disk model, we find $\dot{M}=1{0}^{-3.9\pm 0.2}\,{M}_{\odot }$ yr^–1, R_inner = 5.86 ± 1 R_⊙, i = 38$\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$2 ± 3°, and A_V = 20.8 ± 0.7 mag, resulting in an accretion luminosity of 458 L_⊙ and maximum disk temperature of 7045 K. The optical portion of the spectral energy distribution greatly exceeds the flux level expected for a highly extincted accretion disk. We propose that the excess emission arises from a contribution due to scattering of the accretion disk spectrum off nearby envelope material that is viewed along a line of sight with less extinction. Additionally, we use photometric observations spanning 137 years to demonstrate that the source has accreted at least 18 M_Jup of disk material to date. Finally, we discuss the importance of considering both the viscous heating from the midplane and the consequent irradiation effects on the outer disk when modeling the temperature structure to reproduce millimeter-wavelength observations.
