Give Us Time: Orlando holiday opportunity - Autumn 2025
Give Us Time have a new opportunity for a two week break in Orlando in the autumn, which is live on their website at https://bookings.giveustime.org.uk/login
This is for up to four people in a town house on the Encantada Resort in Kissimmee, to the southwest of Orlando. The resort is close to Disney World and Sea World, and an hour’s drive to both of Florida’s beautiful coastlines.
The dates for this break are Saturday 20 September to Saturday 4 October – they are unable to request alternative dates, although families can choose to arrive a day later or leave a day earlier, depending on flights.
As always, breaks are accommodation only, so families will be required to cover the costs of travel, transfers, food, entertainment, etc – Give Us Time are unable to support with these costs.
Due to a number of cancellations on this break, Give Us Time advise that families will need to be sure they can have the time off and that they will need to supply confirmation of flight bookings.
For more information on Give Us Time, please go to: https://giveustime.org.uk/
