🌍 BIG NEWS: WE'VE LAUNCHED A SECOND CHANNEL!

Here's something we've been working on for months - we're expanding beyond the seas!

Meet 2 Parkers 1 World - our brand new YouTube channel dedicated to ALL the incredible travel adventures that happen on land (and in the air)!

Why Create a New Channel?

You know how much we LOVE cruising - and that's never changing! But here's the thing: cruising opened our eyes to this massive, beautiful world, and we realized there are so many amazing travel experiences we've been dying to share with you that just don't fit on a cruise-focused channel.

2 Parkers 1 World is our love letter to:

 πŸš‚ Train Travel Adventures (especially scenic routes across America)
🎒 Theme Park Deep Dives (Disney, Universal, and beyond)
πŸ’Ž Hidden Gems in North Carolina (our home state has incredible secrets!)
✈️ International Land Adventures
πŸ•οΈ Budget-Friendly Travel Tips for every type of trip

What's Already on the Channel:

πŸ“Ή Channel Trailer - Meet us and see what we're all about
πŸ“Ή Train Travel 101 - Everything first-timers need to know
πŸ“Ή Disney All-Star Music Resort Guide - Honest budget hotel review
πŸ“Ή Disney Trip Countdown Series - Our preparation journey

πŸš‚ SPECIAL SERIES ALERT: Disney Train Adventure!

Here's the big one - premiering Wednesday, May 28th:

Our complete Disney Train Series!

We did something we've NEVER done before - we took an overnight train from North Carolina to Disney World. We documented everything:

  • The 14-hour journey experience

  • Honest costs vs. flying

  • Disney All-Star Music Resort review

  • Birthday celebration at Animal Kingdom

  • Would we do it again?

This isn't just travel content - it's a real experiment to see if train travel to Disney is worth it for families like ours!

πŸ“Ί WEEKLY TIPS VIDEOS COMING SOON!

We heard you loud and clear - you want MORE practical travel advice!

Starting next month, we're launching weekly tips videos across both channels:

🚒 Cruise Tips Tuesdays (Parkers On The Go)
🌍 Travel Hacks Thursdays (2 Parkers 1 World)

These short, actionable videos will give you:

  • Money-saving strategies

  • Packing hacks

  • Booking secrets

  • Hidden perks and benefits

  • Real-world problem solutions

Think of them as your weekly dose of travel wisdom that you can use on your next adventure!

πŸ“ INTRODUCING: MRS. PARKER'S TRAVEL BLOG!

Last but not least - we've launched Mrs. Parker's Travel Blog!

This is going to be your one-stop resource for everything we create across both channels, PLUS exclusive content you can't get anywhere else:

πŸ“‹ Detailed Trip Guides for every destination we visit
πŸ’Ύ FREE Downloads - packing lists, budget templates, planning guides
πŸ“Š Behind-the-scenes content from our videos
🎯 Extended Tips & Tricks that didn't make it into the videos
πŸ“± Printable Resources are perfect for offline planning

Every video we make will have a corresponding blog post with extra details, resources, and free downloads to help you plan your own adventures.

The blog launches alongside our Disney Train series next week, and the first free download will be our complete "Train Travel to Disney Planning Guide" with everything we learned!

πŸ’™ THANK YOU FOR GROWING WITH US!
