Text for your chance to win the ultimate holiday in Florida.

Thanks to Travelplanners and Experience Kissimmee, LBC is giving you and three guests the chance to win an unforgettable holiday to Kissimmee, Florida.

You’ll fly with Virgin Atlantic and spend 10-nights in a luxury self catering Townhome at the 5* Championsgate billion-dollar resort, in Kissimmee, Florida. Spend lazy days in a cabana by any of the three pools or enjoy endless activities at the resort’s splash park, movie theatre, games room, tennis and volleyball courts.

You won’t be short of places to visit, so you will have car hire for the duration of your trip thanks to Dollar Car Hire.

We’re sending you to Orlando’s only airboat and alligator adventure park as Wild Florida Airboats host you for a close-up croc encounter as you travel deep into the swamps, marshes and rivers at the Headwaters of the Everglades. 

That’s not all, you’ll visit the mind-blowing Kennedy Space Center Complex where you can enjoy the full perks of a Space pass, including lunch with an Astronaut! Truly out of this world.

To be in with a chance of winning, text the word FLORIDA to 84850.

Entries close at midday on 5th October. Keep your phone handy, we may be calling you.
