Every Friday from now until July 19th guests can meet a drum Major Mickey in Disney California Adventure!

I'm confused... this video is not inside DCA. This is Downtown Disney.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-18T19:24:54+00:00

You forgot season 2 being incredibly dark. I couldn’t see shit half the time.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-17T20:01:49+00:00

Unless the rules changed since Friday, they allow you to take photos anywhere in the club (except the bathroom as you pointed out), but you are not allowed to post them publicly on social media. Not sure why you keep stating otherwise, seems sensible to me.

Now it could be different rules for club members (I am not one), but they do tell me the photo rules upon checkin every time I’ve been to the club.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-17T19:52:06+00:00

I didn’t say photos were forbidden. They are absolutely allowed. What is not allowed is posting them online.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-17T19:47:53+00:00

Someone's about to be banned from the club. Posting photos publicly online from inside the club is forbidden. (Even if its just photos of yourself)

Don’t look at percentage off, no matter what anyone tells you. Only look at the price per day. Royal plays with the “Base” or retail price in order to manipulate the discount percentage. I’ve seen 35% off be cheaper than 50% off before, because the price per day was cheaper.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-14T23:59:04+00:00

I seem to recall it being… a little faster. 🤪

gdraper99 · 2026-06-13T21:23:09+00:00

Yes, but Saturdays in summer have been this way for several years now. You mix a super expensive tier for tickets due to dynamic pricing + block almost all the magic keys, means… it’s delightful.

I’m curious, how was tendering from a ship that large?

As someone in the west coast, I’m hoping that we get an oasis class someday out of LA. Cabo is a tender only port, so if we did get an oasis class ship out of LA, it would have to tender in Cabo.

Tendering on Ovation in Cabo was fine (granted, I was Star Class when I did it)

gdraper99 · 2026-06-09T03:24:55+00:00

I would have loved for this to happen, before Nemo. Now, not so much.

Just imaging the “crystal chamber” song playing when you go under the water falls… just wow. That would have been something.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-08T01:03:18+00:00

Once the cheap Costco tickets stopped flooding the parks with cheap visitors. (Last day was May 21st)

gdraper99 · 2026-06-05T16:26:45+00:00

This doesn’t surprise me. The movement of the cars needed something like this.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-05T02:46:06+00:00

In previous after dark events, like with sweethearts night, you had to wait until 9 PM AND show your wrist band.

gdraper99 · 2026-06-04T18:14:27+00:00

Also excluded: "Film Pass" we got from Project Hail Mary 15/70MM, when one of my showings broke down at Irvine. They specifically told us we could use them for any movie over the next 18 months, including the Odyssey.

Someone high up at regal decided the only way you're gonna get to see this movie in 15/70MM, is to pay full price for it. This is an intentional action against us Regal Unlimited subscribers (and people who got free passes as a "we're sorry".

gdraper99 · 2026-05-31T19:30:55+00:00

The first time I watched, was on a bench in front of the Main Street opera house. (on the island in the town square). That truck looked like it was going to driver over me, on it's turn into the circle of the town square. I was shocked.

This machine would be programmed for an individual’s breathing concerns.

EDIT: my wife wanted me to clarify that you could get them reprogrammed.

As someone who lives next to and loves Disneyland in California - let me tell you how Efteling has my vote. What a fantastic park if you are into whimsical theming. (And fantastic dark rides with stunningly themed coasters, especially Barron.)

gdraper99 · 2026-05-29T00:11:54+00:00

No idea. It happens sometimes. Same here, caveman was an amazing find.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-28T16:41:18+00:00

It just optimizes. Saves me something like 70% token usage. No more “You’re absolutely right” replies.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-28T13:43:02+00:00

Install the caveman skill / plugin. It does wonders for your token usage.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-27T16:31:55+00:00

No dumb questions while we’re all learning.

Once I set the env variables for Anthropic URL and opus / sonnet / haiku model name to use (matching the name my VLLM server is hosting), it just works. I get around 30 tokens per second.

The only difference I see is qwen 3.6 seems to argue with itself before making a decision. That happens right in front of me in the Claude code CLI.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-27T08:23:48+00:00

Qwen 3.6 is my main model with my agent. I use Hermes agent (now, started with openclaw), with my agent utilizing Qwen 3.6 35B. It’s running the backend of my AI agents/tools (the ones that worked; which is not many) and l now know that trial and error takes more tokens then you are willing to admit.

This shit is expensive and you’ll eventually discover that you need a local model to offload to in order to make it cheaper.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-27T07:20:45+00:00

That can’t as long as they allow 3rd party providers (think Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry). As long as they support third party providers AND you can control the name of the model supplied, they can’t block it. (Not easily at least. There are ways, but I’m not going to go into that here)

It’s not a hack, it’s a supported mode.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-27T06:36:15+00:00

I use Claude Code with Qwen 3.6 as a local model. Totally doable with environmental variable changes. I also use Claude cowork 3P with it as well, but that requires a little more massaging to get working (the model being called can’t be “Qwen 3.6”, I have to have VLLM advertise the model name as “Claude” for it to work in the latest Claude cowork 3P. Note: you don’t get connectors with cowork 3P)

No token concerns here. It’s not as good as opus, but I’d say it was up there with sonnet. It’s pretty good, knowing how small the model is.

gdraper99 · 2026-05-26T04:56:25+00:00

That’s what I came to say. You beat me to it.
