Covering All Things Florida
Florida theme parks are preparing a slate of new attractions and reimagined experiences for 2026 that aim to draw families, thrill-seekers and repeat visitors to the region’s world-famous parks.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced today that it will implement ground stops at Florida’s busiest airport due to a lack of flight controllers due to the federal shutdown. The move is expected to cause even more major delays and disruptions at Orlando International Airport for travelers flying in and out of one of the country’s major destinations. The airport is already labeled one of the ten worst in the US in most lists, and this latest snag is sure to make the normally poor experience even worse.
The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach is now home to a major exhibition titled Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection, marking the most extensive presentation of The Leiden Collection ever shown in the United States. The Leiden Collection is among the largest and most important collections of seventeenth-century Dutch art in private hands, and many of its paintings are rarely seen. This new exhibition gives art lovers a chance to see many of the Leiden Collection works up close and in person. For many, this is a chance not to be missed.
Located at 1450 S. Dixie Highway, the exhibition runs during regular museum hours: Thursdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $18 for adults, with discounts available for students, seniors, and children.
Florida’s east coast has changed a lot over the centuries, but one thing that’s held its ground—name and all—is Mosquito Lagoon. While other places in the region have shed their buggy branding in favor of more marketable names, Mosquito Lagoon remains the last major waterway in Florida to retain its original moniker.
So where did the name “Mosquito Lagoon” come from, and why did it stick?
Getting away from it all doesn’t always mean leaving the country, or even leaving the state you’re in. This is especially true in Florida, a state that’s already a vacation destination, and one that sees many millions of visitors every year. Many come for the Attractions in Kissimmee, namely, Disney, Universal and Sea World. Others come for Miami’s bright lights and nightlife. For those looking for a unique experience, discovering a unique AirBNB in Florida could be the perfect choice. Still others come for the beaches or the islands scattered throughout the Sunshine State.
Those experiences and resorts are easily found on the web, and often don’t make for a casual getaway in some unique place. Here are five spots in Florida we’ve found recently that are unique and perhaps off the beaten path just a bit:
Delta Air Lines is taking a bold step to retool its fare-setting engine: by the end of 2025, AI will determine ticket prices on one out of every five domestic flights. And if that goes well (for Delta) they may roll out the system to all potential passengers. Some will pay more, while others may pay less, all depending on what the new system comes up with.
After a brief spring spike, drivers across Florida are experiencing lower gas prices compared to last year, but costs still differ widely by region, according to new AAA data released Monday. Some areas of the state fare better than others, but overall, with the summer travel season in full swing, motorists are doing very well.
Breeze Airways, the Salt Lake City-based ultra-low-cost carrier founded by David Neeleman, is expanding its footprint in Florida this fall by adding two nonstop routes from Tampa and Orlando.
