Love a good road trip especially when it includes Buc-ee's! We stopped at the Georgia & Florida locations on our last Disney trip and loved it. Thanks for sharing your road trip!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back. It is definitely an attraction to itself. Hope everyone is doing great and having a great week.

[@michaelhatfield8034]

Buc-kee’s is awesome. The bathrooms are the cleanest on the road and gas is cheap. The .89 soda was so big we drank it all day. Glad you had fun!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It was absolutely fantastic and we can’t wait to go back. The sandwiches were great and those Beaver Nuggets are so good. Thank you so much for traveling along with us.

[@johndawson7881]

I love the back and forth between you two in the car comedy gold!! Todd being told off by Michelle for being messy just love it sooooo much you guys are the best

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

John thank you so much for your support and encouragement. After 41 years how she still puts up with me I just don’t know lol. We hope you have a fantastic week

[@matt207]

I'm glad that I'm not the only person that wears their food down their shirt and Emily gives me the same look that Michelle gave Todd. Lol

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Matt it wouldn’t be good meal if I weren’t wearing some of it on my shirt. This sandwich should have definitely been kept in the wrapper lol. We hope you are having a fantastic weekend

[@lindablair919]

I live in Ocala and it will take forever for the Buc-ee’s here to open since they have to build a new exit on I-75. I have been to the FL locations and also one in GA. Love it!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Ya we’re hearing 2025 but it’s worth the wait. Now I guess we need to try the St Augustine location. We loved living in the Ocala area. Hope you are having a great weekend

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi @Linda Blair ! That's why they call it SlowCala! It's exciting though and we can't wait to go visit. Thanks so much for being a part of our Traveler Family! - Michelle

[@melissagubernat3527]

Now I have to go! Did you notice if they had Apple jelly? I love watching your videos! You guys always put a smile on my face!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Melissa I don’t think we seen half the stuff they had to offer. I do know we got some sweet pepper jelly we will try in the future. Thank you for all your support. Have a fantastic weekend

[@jennib11]

Yummm next time get the Cinnamon nuggets. They are addictive!!!!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Uggggg I almost bought them but the buggy was overflowing lol. We will definitely try them next time. Hope your week is going great.

[@laurieshaw8869]

What a wonderful video! Loved your trip here and all the fun conversation, especially as you were eating!😂 You two are the best! 🎉

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It was a great way to spend a fantastic day together. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week

[@MyBeaversUnit]

ITS LIKE POPS CERAL.. SWEETENED CORNPOPS

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

And I absolutely love it. Don’t think I got enough bags lol

[@thecurtisfamily3810]

My wife wants to go here so bad. We were watching and she said I really like them. You two are so entertaining. Really hope to see y'all on June. That was your funniest video yet. You two in the car was hilarious 😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We can’t wait for your next visit so we can definitely get together. It would definitely be a little out of your way but worth the trip. Hope you have had a fantastic week

[@henrietteslifeadventuresan5218]

When my mama and I went to Georgia we ate at buckees so much like all the way there that’s were we stopped if we could 😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is such a great place and in 2025 Florida will have the worlds largest in Ocala.

[@henrietteslifeadventuresan5218]

Yesss!!!! I need to go again! The sandwiches are sooo good !

[@WVUGRAD2012]

That pepper jelly jam is very good on a block of cream cheese as a dip! Yum!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi Lawrence! Ohh! Good suggestion! I’ll give it a try! Thanks. -Michelle

[@austinstitzel]

I'm going to guess that Todd is a Capricorn and Michelle is a Pisces.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Well I am a Sagittarius and Michelle is a Taurus. Thank you for being part of our traveling family and we hope you have a great weekend.

[@3roachkidsdhe]

So cool seeing you guys at Buccees. My daughter and I are obsessed!! We love all the different holiday themed t shirts. Love the camping supplies, the unique gifts. Love how they say brisket on the board! It’s such a fun experience!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It definitely is a them park for convenience stores. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to get back. Hope everyone is doing great and having a wonderful week.

[@BillHow]

PSA. Don’t completely unwrap the chopped brisket sandwich. Ever. 😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thanks for the advice Bill and trust me it won’t happen again lol. Do wish I would have gotten the sliced brisket also. We hope you are having a fantastic week

[@MyBeaversUnit]

no call out for me.. not nice.. yall know im your favorite beaver

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

This place was amazing. Can’t wait to the one in Ocala opens up. Hope you and the family are doing great.

[@nativetexan9776]

If they had tables, they would be constantly chasing homeless people and travelers that will stop and make beds out of the table tops and benches.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Ya I am sure they would be over run with people. I am glad we found the park 2 miles from this location so we could enjoy our brisket. Thanks for traveling along with us

[@mary-margaretadams5789]

Here is the recipe to make nuggets at home Carmel Puffed Corn 2 bagged Chester Puffed Corn 2 sticks butter 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 teaspoon baking soda Place puffed corn in large roasting pan. In 2 qt saucepan bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Add baking soda and boil for 1 minute longer. This will cause mixture to foam up. Stir well and remove from heat. Pour over puff corn in roaster. Bake in 250 oven for 45 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. Remove from pan and spread on wax paper to cool. When cool, break apart and store in ziploc bags. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy your videos!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for the recipe we will have to give it a try for sure. Thank you so much for all your support and being part of our traveling family

[@donnaplumridge9769]

I would never have completely unwrapped the sandwich, just unwrap as you go. Tod and Michelle, if you like French toast, try dipping the French toast in buc-ee nuggets! Saw a recipe on Diners Drive ins and Dives, where chef made Captain Crunch French toast in a restaurant where I came from. I tried it, delicious! Not something you want to eat often! Lol! The place was huge! And I wholeheartedly agree, should have picnic tables! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Donna it was a rookie mistake for sure lol. Ya the Beaver Nuggets in milk will definitely be tried. Also looking for other recipes. We can’t wait to try other locations. Have a great weekend

[@olafpamela]

Love❤ a Buc-ee's 🦫 when traveling ☺️. I always drive my husband nuts😂 when I see a Buc-ee's 😋😀 Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We need to go back soon. We just lived that place plus I am out of nuggets and jerky lol. We hope you are having a fantastic week.

[@GrumpyCanCan]

Lol I felt like I was listening to my own parents. My mom is always getting on to my dad about dropping food and food in his mustache. She's always getting on to me about me dropping food on my shirt. That's why I don't have nice shirts...all mine are full of food spots. 😂😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi @Candace Tolbert ! lol He always has spots on his shirts. I think he tries to get so much on his spoon or fork lol. So funny! - Michelle

[@jenredcay448]

Thanks so much for going to Buc-ee's!! We'll be passing both the Daytona one and St Augustine, so I might stop at both!! Looks like a great opportunity to stretch the legs after driving all day.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Jen they are definitely must stops to stretch the meds and get some great snacks. Safe travels and let us know what you think if you stop.

[@lindseysellers4423]

Thank you so much for doing a Buccee's video. I've been wanting to go to one, but living in PA there are none on our typical roadtrip routes. However, with flight prices so high we're driving to WDW in Aug and one of the very few upsides to that is that we can finally stop at a Buccee's. My husband hasn't ever really heard of it and doesn't understand my excitement so I can't wait to show him this video!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Glad it was helpful! Sorry about having to drive but sometimes road trips are the best. Lindsey just make sure you give yourself time to really explore. Safe travels and we will see you on your next trip. Have a fantastic weekend

[@jenniferdailey4331]

So I live in south Texas and we have Bucees everywhere. We always stop when traveling. They have the best bathrooms and snacks. Glad you got to check it out😀

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Jennifer it was such a great road trip and we had a fantastic time. This location was spotless. The Beaver Nuggets are fantastic and gives us a reason to go back. Hope you have had a wonderful week

[@juliegorman9841]

Dang it! Now I have to go to Buc-ees. Everything looked delicious. Have a great weekend! This was a fun outing.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Julie we had a fantastic time. We have to go back just to get more Beaver Nuggets lol. Have a fantastic weekend

[@toyman70]

Thank you so much for the Buckees video. We really liked it and we can't wait to check out it for ourselves. We did try the Beaver nuggets our son-in-law brought home a few months ago and they are absolutely addicting. Have a great day guys- J&P see ya soon

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

J&P we absolutely loved the place and can’t wait to go back and try some more of the brisket and other goodies. Those Beaver Nuggets are so addictive and I don’t think I bought enough lol. Hope you guys are doing great and see you soon.

[@kitchenskills5427]

I went to my first buc-ees on a road trip to Disney and stopped at the Daytona Beach location and loved it. Now, I regularly go to the one in Katy. The have amazing hand lotion an snacks.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We hit the Dayton one and the St Augustine one on our recent trip to Asheville. We definitely prefer the Daytona one. Thanks so much for traveling along and we hope you have had a wonderful weekend

[@GanderPatch]

Todd.. I bought a tray table that fits into your cup holder for a road trip we are making. I bought it specifically for my iPad and phone but it would serve as a great way to keep food off your lap!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

That is awesome! Might need to look into one of those for our next visit. Definitely need something to keep the food off my shirt for sure lol. Hope you have had a great week.

[@disneygirl5768]

Never heard of this place! Wow! I would have the best time there. Thanks for a great video! You two make me laugh!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

You would absolutely love it. It’s got so many things to see and to many treats. It’s definitely worth a trip

[@Frecklesk32]

I'm loving Todd's Tshirt. Is is a recent purchase please?

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you. No it’s an oldie but goodie that doesn’t get in the rotation much it’s from Disneyland. We hope you are having a great weekend..

[@GrumpyCanCan]

Next time I come down I'll stop and get you some beaver nuggets.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

That sounds like a plan lol. Hope you guys are having a wonderful week

[@annstaudt7613]

I am laughing and drooling watching you eat . looks yummy.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Ann it was a great time and the food was so good. We hope you are having a wonderful week

It looks like you had so much fun at Buc Ees….I got to get up there!!

[@herewegowithomacarr2204]

We love Bucees! We have been to some in Texas!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We definitely want to try more locations. We will definitely go to the Ocala location. Hope you guys are doing great.

[@floridadreams263]

I'd like to try Bucees. I heard one is coming to Orlando somewhere. I just have never thought about driving to the one in Daytona. I do wish they had tables also. Thanks for sharing.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It was absolutely fantastic and can’t wait to go back. We actually mention the new Ocala location in this video. It’s going to be 5000 more square feet and have 120 gas pumps. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. It’s definitely worth the trip.

[@floridadreams263]

@@TravelingAroundDisney I must have missed that part. Thanks so much for the info!! :)

[@lisar4113]

OMG, now have to try Bucee's. We usually stop at South of the Border and Stuckey's on our way to FL which are a throw back to my childhood road trips! This place looks awesome!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We loved it and it’s well worth the trip. We never have tried South of the Border but hopefully one day. We hope you have a fantastic week and thanks for traveling along with us..

Hi Todd and Michelle! Omg!!! Isn't Buc-ee's amazing?!? It's a must do for us every time we drive down from New Jersey. My husband and I laughed so much while watching this vlog. Your reactions reminded us of when we first tried the brisket sandwich and beaver nuggets. My husband is sitting here saying he wants to go to Buc-ee's right now. Too bad we're about 18 hours away 😢 Next time you need to try the club melt. It is absolutely delicious 😋 Thanks for such great content and always making us smile!
