We drive that stretch about twice a year (Acworth/Kennesaw to Lake Buena Vista/Port Canaveral) and have been doing it for many years. We’ll be doing it again this weekend. If you feel you have to stop, Valdosta is your best bet. And to be honest, if you’ve seen one Buc-ee’s, you’ve seen them all.
That side of the state, Valdosta would probably be what I would suggest. I’m rarely over that way but Valdosta would give you plenty of places to eat/stay.
Valdosta is the traditional stop for this drive. Lots of motels and a chance to fill up on cheaper gas before crossing into Florida as they have less taxes in Georgia.
Nah, just a place to sleep really. Doing Six Fags and Funspot in the day and want to make a late night drive as far south as possible to be ready for Uni then next day
Driven this a million times and unfortunately the stretch between Gainesville and Atlanta is all pretty boring. Just pick any roadside hotel that isn’t sketchy.
You will pass right by Wild Adventures though if you want some creds.
Got a day planned there with Funspot in the evening 😊
Just trying to decide do I late night drive to Orlando afters or find somewhere to stay and drive the next day
We do this drive a lot. We took a bit longer drive the last time and went to Savannah. However, if you stop in Valdosta as suggested don’t stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites, it’s bad.
