Day 6 - Tubing at Rock Springs

Our original plan for Friday was to go to Disney but we weren't willing to pay the full ticket price. After we found someone on Craiglist who said they had 3 day park hopper tickets waiting at will call, we headed to the park. The tickets weren't ready yet and they assured us that they were working on finalizing them. An hour later, they finally told us that they couldn't get tickets as it was too short notice. We were not happy people! We paid for parking and had waited for over an hour in the heat. To try and make up for the situation, our contact promised us 2 day park hopper passes for free starting on Saturday. We were skeptical, but thought if the tickets didn't come through then we would just pay for tickets ourselves and go Saturday anyway.
With the day almost half over, we decided to travel up to Apopka and tube down Rock Springs. It was something that Devin remembered doing as a kid and thought we would all enjoy. He was right! While it was a bit cold, the water was crystal clear and blue. The surroundings were also really beautiful with lush green trees and plants on either side of the water. We saw lots of fish, birds, and even some turtles. It was exactly what needed after the long day we had just had at Universal Studios.
