When you talk about midwinter and spring break destinations, Florida reigns supreme. You can visit a plethora of theme parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and Legoland; spend the day at a zoo or wildlife preserve; hike or kayak at a state park; build a sandcastle at the beach; visit epic dining, shopping and entertainment complexes like Universal’s CityWalk and Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs; or you can splash into the surf at any number of waterparks that dot the state.
Sometimes you just can’t plan for magic.

Guests will not have to wear masks down waterslides when Disney s Blizzard Beach reopens in March.
Disney s Blizzard Beach Water Park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando is set to reopen on March 7.
The park has been closed since the coronavirus crisis first shut down theme parks last March.
When Blizzard Beach reopens, as is the case at Disney s theme parks in Orlando, it will be subject to new health and safety protocols like reduced capacity, temperature screenings, physical distancing and face coverings, Disney said.
Disney will require guests to wear face masks in designated areas, including the park s entrance and exit, retail areas and food and beverage ordering areas. They will not be required on waterslides or while swimming. As is the case at its theme parks, guests can remove face coverings when eating or drinking, but they must be stationary and physically distanced.
After nearly a yearlong closure, Walt Disney World s Blizzard Beach Water Park will welcome visitors back on March 7, 2021, the park announced this week.
Although Disney s other parks like Magic Kingdom, Epcot have been open since July, its water parks have remained closed since the shutdown in March.
Current tickets that include a Park Hopper Plus option or the Water Park & Sport option can be modified, canceled or used with the amenities currently open at Disney World. Unused, unexpired water park tickets can be extended through Dec. 31, 2021 by calling customer service before March 7.
Disney will resume selling water park annual passes and one-day water park admission “at a later date.”
