Since you guys seem like the biggest Dolly fans in the world I bet you would get a kick out of this story I learned recently. Carl and Dolly decided to take a trip to Hawaii in the early 70s. As they were strolling along Dolly noticed this little shop with these cool looking clothes. She was so impressed with the shop owner that Dolly made the woman her tailor for many of her outfits over the past 50+ years. The woman was a single mother and had a young son she used as a tailor's dummy. Her son was so painfully shy but very interested in the theater. The woman decided to use some of the extra money to get the boy acting lessons to help encourage his love of theater and to get him out of his shell. In English his name means "Peaceful Winds" but we all know and love him as simply Keanu Reeves.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

[@evinrude1236]

It's sad to see the old Smoky Mtn. Opry gone. Some things just don't need to change. 😢

[@stephanieholt2670]

I’m so happy 😀

[@dianapearson1771]

Car charms?? Cool!! My daughter in law got me one of those big pretty mugs!!!

[@dianapearson1771]

And those bathrooms are the best!!!

[@dianapearson1771]

I think you’re right about the sauna, Will!

[@user-zj4sk4km5z]

Great Info.

[@tarab6607]

Never got gas at Bucees, but whenever we road trip, we HAVE to make a stop for some brisket and browsing. It's like an attraction in and of itself! 😅

[@dianapearson1771]

Watching a his is going to make me hungry for those nuggets!!!

[@irenesprinkle6962]

We used to have a Russell Stovers in Anderson SC. Unfortunately it’s gone.

[@dianapearson1771]

Does that one have the smashed penny machine?!!

[@teresas4440]

I love Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg my and my daughter go every summer. Thank you for doing what you guys do. 🥰❤

[@sandramorgan2017]

Thanks for the neat tour!😊😊

[@terrymitchell-rq5bs]

Thanks will and dawn always love your videos

[@Sunnyfl2840]

I remember when there was practically nothing on 66 between Sevierville and Pigeon Forge.

[@bradleyp2490]

Chocolate is good up to a year after it is made. Love going to the Stover store

[@amberbryant8141]

Really bad need new Bucee’s in NC. 🤷🏼‍♀️☹️ Sevierville and PF look good new places. ❤❤ Thank you watching your video.

[@juliekennedy6207]

Swaggerty Sausage is the best, we never leave town without loading up a cooler to take home with us, love watching your adventures

[@janetwolff4040]

A nice needed relaxed afternoon with Will & Dawn. Nice! Hugs from Maumee!

[@franw4736]

We can't wait to stop at Buccee's! We don't have any in our area. Great video, Ty

[@dianapearson1771]

Wonder why so many Mexican restaurants are popping up everywhere?? Yeah, I wonder why that is???

[@marysewitsky4823]

We got on the way home from the airport with guests that want to see it

[@laurafoote214]

i wish we had a buc-ees by us, there none in the Chicagoland area or even nearby, looks like a fun place to shop.

[@melissakalber2185]

We went to Buccees when we came to visit. It was my first time. What a adventure.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

You should look into the benefits of a sauna..

[@RobOlgatree]

If it's any consolation, the new BUC-EE'S in Texas opening in the next few days as the world's largest BUC-EE'S, is 'barely' (think a few square feet) larger than the giant store in Sevierville, Tennessee. Love the giant flea market off the 407 exit.

[@annielandry]

instead of 74 its 75 thousand

[@jameswinters7920]

Missed you by one day. We were there Thursday looking for you on our way back home from FL to Indiana.

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

Bucce awesomeness sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch Great video as always

[@roymaria6042]

Hey now all you need is a Meijers. Looks like the Target may open in a few more months.

[@Rhondagail]

that's a great 👍 deal for Tshirt 👕 s

[@keithsanders2792]

Will, am I wrong but in the not so distant future exit 407 will be crazier busier? You got me addicted to those Buckee nuggets ya know.

[@marysewitsky4823]

It’s already crazy busy and will definitely get worse

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

I have never been to buc ees Maybe some day. Lol

[@MegaFlorida11]

Hi will and Dawn. How does filling up at Buccees work. Eg is it pay at pump or can you pay inside. Coming from UK next year. 😊❤

[@lisaclark8093]

You can either pay at the pump or pay inside the store. 😊👍

[@Angela-zf8sn]

😊👍

[@jenpeace3763]

I was just down there and stayed at the Christmas Inn because of your review. Have you been to the bush's bean tour? If not please do a review video when you can.

[@stephanieotts6236]

Did the veterans store go out of business, or did they move? They were in that outlet.

[@justcody85]

I have a buckees not far from my house but i avoid it like the Plague,it is always to busy and takes 20-30 mins just to get alittle gas. Otherwise it's great especially the bbq sandwiches but i think personally the nuggets are alittle bland really. Great video!

[@tammull9267]

I’m so glad we enter town through the GSMNP. Much more beautiful and less traffic 💜

[@marysewitsky4823]

It closed during Covid.

[@dewanalong7891]

Thanks for stopping at Bucee’s and taking us along. Yay!

[@rbrock2928]

That Russell Stover outlet is the best!!! We found out about because one of your videos a few years back!

[@norabradley9108]

I wonder if they deliberately make so much seasonal and other chocolate to stock the outlet stores.

[@teresacantrell2024]

Thanks for sharing all the updates. I love seeing what’s new and all of our favorites. We will be there on the 23rd. ❤ all love seeing Buc-ess

[@ronconnies6090]

[@joanndeland7969]

[@Rachiebetsy]

Our newest Buccees in Kentucky opens June 24th!!!!! Smiths Grove Ky.

[@kygirl05]

I was so excited but unfortunately the Richmond Bucees is still closer to me :( I think the smith grove one is about a 4 hour drive from northern ky 😭

[@ericsoderquist3969]

In the wood fired hot tub you have to make your own bubbles 😳🤪🤗

[@RickyIsCool75]

THANK GUYS FOR GOING BACK BUCEE

[@CumberlandGapJimBow]

Love your videos. Not sure if you watch Barry Stepp's videos but he gave you guys a shout-out the other day and I started watching you. He has almost 67K subs. I live in the Cumberland Gap area in Claiborne County. I hope you will come visit sometime and possibly tour Cudjo's Cave which is owned by Lincoln Memorial University now.

[@lynelljansen8057]

sad to see the old Christmas store leaving. I loved that store. places like that are what gives this area some charm. How many silly rides and attractions does this area need.

[@hattiem.7966]

NC is getting one in Mebane in a year,off I- 40/85.

[@gusnickles3672]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Rhondagail]

Convince them to built a Meijers

[@marysewitsky4823]

We went to Crossville Buc ees yesterday, so much cute patriotic things

[@mrsvoyage]

Ivisited last week my firts bucces

[@watchingfromthesideline1408]

Great video will and dawn 👍 keep up the good work 👍 👏

[@kimpeters9983]

I was there at Buc-ees on Mon. June 3rd. Stopped to get gas before heading East to PA. That round stuffed Buc-ee with a tail Dawn picked up my friend has one. She got it to cheer her up while recouping from a bad fall. I bought her a tie dyed TN Buc-ee shirt and one for me too. Havent tried any food yet. Maybe my next trip in August. You had a beautiful day for filming.❤

[@marysewitsky4823]

FYI, chocolate doesn’t go bad. If it has white on it, that’s because it’s gotten warm. It use to be put in survival boxes cause it’s good forever

[@gerryohara7656]

Much have just missed you at flea traders, havn't seen you scents the island meet ups. I am Gerry with grey scooter from Canada.

[@jolenemudra4971]

We're getting a Bucky's here in Arizona. In the valley, close to Phoenix. It's being built right now!

[@briantroxell7874]

I’m excited, next weekend I’m leaving from Indiana to the Tail of the Dragon and on the way I’m stopping at the Bucee’s in Kentucky and this one in Tennessee. I’ve never been to one before but I’ve heard a lot about them and I have had the Bucee nuggets and love them! I’ll be going to Pigeon Forge too.

[@bwgoofy]
