Keeping Up With The Parkers

We don't take a lot of time to do this (we're more of a "let people find us by their own means and in their own time" kind of blog), but we've been spreading ourselves around more lately and since, at least for right now, it's a slow week we thought we'd point them out to everyone in case they might have been missed. Consider this our shameless self-promotion (on our own blog, no less!) to cover the next six months or so.

In an effort to become more diverse and get people to engage with us in more ways than just reading us, we've branched out and do many things now providing many different ways you can interact with us!
  • The biggest thing we've done recently is begin our own monthly podcast, called the 'Days In The Parkcast'. We've tried to make it basically just an extension of how we try to do things here; recount our own adventures, tips and tricks, etc. (our Days pretty much) in an expanded form. We're really excited about doing it and we're having a great time recording them! You can subscribe to our podcast's RSS feed at feeds.feedburner.com/DaysInTheParkcast, or you can subscribe to us and listen to us in the iTunes store. We'd love to have you listen in on us!
  • We recently started our own YouTube channel for videos we make as well! We don't have a lot of videos there (yet!) but what we do have we think is pretty entertaining. They're us just being us, and we think that's exactly what they need to be. A couple of friends on Twitter gave us some good advice recently: "Be yourself" and "That's what Disneyland is all about. Acting like a kid and just being goofy". That's exactly what we're trying to do with our videos. They're really pretty goofy, but we're just having a good time and being ourselves. You can subscribe to our videos on our channel and be updated whenever we upload new ones. Stop on by and check us out!
  • We also have our own page on Facebook! If you haven't already checked it out, and you have a FB account, hop on over there and give us a "Like" so that all of our updates appear in your little news stream there. We update the page every day with links to the articles we post here, and we also do a lot of interactive things with tweets from The Park, questions for our readers, and we also upload pictures from our Days for you to comment on there. We're approaching 200 people following us there now, and we'd love to see all of you there!
  • We do a lot on Twitter. It's easily the best way to keep up with us, what we're doing on our blog, and all the shenanigans we try to get into at The Parks. You can follow us at: Chad (@DaysInThePark), Mark (@MTreiger), and Amy (@amyululani).
  • Subscribe to our blog's RSS feed and read us in your favorite blog reader. We read ourselves in Google Reader and it's one of the best ones out there (in our opinion), but really, reading us anywhere is the goal. Choose one that's good for you and read up!
And we think that about covers it. Truth be told, we'd love to see all of you who read us follow us in all the different ways that you can. There's something 'Days In The Park'-oriented going on just about every way we can think of, and we'd love for you to be a part of it!

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to interact with us, however you do it. We appreciate all of you guys!

Well I'm already following you all on twitter, I already like you on facebook, I already listen to the podcast and I read you through GReader. The only thing I don't pay much attention to is youtube. I don't have an account there and don't subscribe to anything, but I watch the videos when you post about them other places. Superfan#1 :D
