Some of the new diamond banners going up on the lampposts (photos by @tahrihc78)
Those look expensive.
And period-perfect to The Music Man and the 1905 theme of Main Street USA, like something the Marceline Ladies Guild would have made themselves.

As someone who grew up 45 minutes away from Disneyland (and visited frequently), I understand completely!
I also grew up living around 35-45 minutes away. I'm still within that distance, actually, despite moving a few times.

Did that article say non animatronic Harold figures?
No.

It said "non-animatronic appearances of the mythical snowman."
Take that how you will.
Right, but it also mentioned animatronics. Looks like there will be both.

That's how I took it as well, meaning he will be making non-AA appearances in addition to the animatronic. Technically he already does, with his glowing red eyes in the dark caverns and all.
And in case anyone's interested, here's a portion of last night's fireworks testing as seen from the MatterCam:

That is hilarious!

I wasn't referring to the broken effects. I just prefer the parks to do things differently from each other, but I see where you're coming from.

Wow, these new windows will be awesome!

The beloved Main Street animated windows will come to life once again for the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration as Main Street Enchanted Windows. Since the early 1960s, scenes from Disney animated classics have been featured in the windows of the Emporium at Disneyland park. This year, for the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration, these classic windows will be updated with new, exciting technology and effects.
There will be a total of six Main Street Enchanted Windows. The first two, featuring the stories of “Peter Pan” and “Cinderella,” will be unveiled in May, followed by “Frozen” and “The Princess and the Frog” in July, and “Toy Story” and “Aladdin” in August.

"Shadow" projection effects, like on Everest?
So happy to hear they've included The Princess and the Frog. That film receives virtually no love from Disney. It's underrated and so good.

Agreed, and I'm still bitter about the cancellation of the Showboat Jubilee..! Also nice to see Aladdin get represented with a window. And it's no surprise to see Frozen there.
Ditto in regards to Jubilee and Aladdin (one of my favorite films). Not to mention the times when Tiana would come out and sing. Now it's all about Frozen.

Looking forward to Elsa's Frozensational Parade, Frozetasmic! and World of Frozen.

True about the film being underrated although I think Princess Tiana has a pretty good presence in Disneyland with the finale of the Magical Map, a major parade float, and a meet and greet. I am surprised that Disney hasn't taken advantage of a very easy tie-in by creating a Tiana's Place restaurants in New Orleans Square in Disneyland and at Port Orleans French Quarter at WDW, kind of seems like a no brainer.
