Hola James,
Sí, también se puede decir disfrutar el tiempo o disfrutar la oportunidad, habria que tener en cuenta el contexto, como siempre.
Ejemplos:
"Me gusta disfrutar del verano" = Me gusta pasarlo bien en verano
"Voy a aprovechar el verano para estudiar" = Estudiaré todo lo que pueda durante el verano

Answering to Eddy:
In Spanish we can say:
"Aprecio el tiempo que me dedicas", that is I'm grateful because you are spending time with me.
"Aprecio la oportunidad que me das", that is I'm grateful because you are giving me an opportunity.
But the idea of taking full advantage of something, time, opportunity, whatever, must be said with "aprovechar".
Examples:
"Hoy es fiesta, tengo que aprovechar el día"
"Me han ofrecido un trabajo estupendo, tengo que aprovechar esta oportunidad"

I'm sorry Eddy, but your translation is wrong. It is literal and it doesn't make any sense in Spanish. It would be "aprovechar el tiempo o la oportunidad".

Hola, Dunia:
Pensé que aprovechar era "to take advantage of" o "to utilize fully." "To cherish" en este sentido quiere decir más como "disfrutar completamente." ¿Aún dirías aprovechar'

Hey Dunia, don't apologise, I am here to learn as well. Funnily enough I did put tiempo in the first place but it didn't look correct. So you cannot appreciate time or opportunity'
