Forget the theme parks and the beaches—this is Central Florida’s best-kept secret 🤫 While everyone else is melting in the theme park lines, we are drifting down a crystal-clear, 72-degree river. The springs are hands-down the best part about living in Central Florida. There is nothing like paddling over perfectly blue water, spotting wild manatees, and swimming in nature’s own swimming pools.

Pro-tip for anyone trying to visit: get there EARLY. Like, 7:30 AM early. Once these parks hit capacity, they close the gates!

I willingly pressed a petri dish of 40,000 strangers' ear sweat against my face just to hear Linkin Park B-side. By the time I left Downtown Disney, my white blood cells were trained Navy SEALs. If you didn’t huff the toxic residue of a thousand tourists thumbs on a greasy keypad, don't talk to me about being built different.
