Yes, I noticed that too. But 12 hours (from here) is okay. We'll probably make a stop in Charleston going one way, and Savannah going the other. I think I've found a VRBO that is about an hour this side of Orlando, close to the coast. Disney and those parks cost too much, and we're more nature people than crowd people anyway. I do appreciate all the input!
No, you won’t do anything in 12 hours, especially if you stop in Charleston. Look on a map—it’s not off of 95. Savannah—Yes. Charleston—no.
We drive from DC to Palm Coast, an hour east of Orlando almost every spring break. Plan on a 14 hour trip with stops right off 95 and random traffic.

Okay, we just confirmed a car rental and will be driving to Florida. Unfortunately this hotel (with the amazing-looking lazy river) is booked. But since it's florida, we'll be fine without the lazy river! Lots of other things to do and see.
Glad you found something. FYI - Massanutten in VA has a lazy river. We've found good deals on the on-site condos, but if you are in the DC area it is close enough for a day trip.

I think it’s only open in the summer. It’s a different outdoor pool that’s open all year

It wasn’t open yet last year at spring break but the outdoor pool and spa were.

They have vacancies, but the prices will be higher than normal.

It's been abnormally cold in the Carolinas this march. No way will any outdoor pools be open, let alone lazy rivers.
Maybe go to Great Wolf Lodge for a night. But you're not going to find an indoor (or heated outdoor) lazy river and hotel for $150 a night for the better part of a week during spring break.
