Orlando Fall Leadership Institute

Join a select group of FCCLA Members and Advisers for the second annual FCCLA Fall Leadership Institute, taking place in Orlando, FL, from October 15–18, 2025. This unique experience focuses on strengthening leadership and teamwork skills through the immersive Disney methodology.

During the event, attendees will participate in two half-day, Disney-led workshops. These sessions take place inside the parks and are conducted in small groups to enhance engagement and learning. Each workshop is held in a different Disney park, so please coordinate student schedules accordingly—additional chaperones may be required based on course selections.

After submitting your registration in the FCCLA Portal, the primary chapter adviser will automatically receive an email confirmation with instructions to make hotel reservations. If you do not receive a registration confirmation email within 48 hours, email meetings@fcclainc.org. Check your spam or junk mail folder for the email as well.

    Reservations made by third-party booking sites (Expedia, Orbitz, Kayak, etc.) or directly with the hotel will not be included in the FCCLA hotel block. They will not qualify as staying within the FCCLA housing block. FCCLA cannot accept responsibility for reservations booked improperly.

  • Housing Policies

    Room rates and the cost of meeting space are based on an anticipated room pick‐up. It is important that FCCLA attendees stay within the official meeting/conference hotel block when attending the meeting/conference.

    Attendees not staying within the official meeting/conference hotel block will be assessed a $125 fee per registration. This policy will not be implemented once the hotel block is sold out. The availability of a preferred room type will not provide an exemption from this policy.

    Only registered conference attendees can take advantage of the FCCLA-negotiated conference room rates within the FCCLA housing block dates. To accommodate FCCLA members and for the safety of all attendees, every guest staying within the FCCLA conference block must be registered for the conference.

    If you wish to arrive early or stay longer, the FCCLA rate will be good for up to three nights before and after the conference dates.

    It is important that you make your hotel reservations before booking travel arrangements.
