Eugh, I personally find these very cheap looking. Not very grand or impressive at all, though I'm sure there's a lot more to come.

Yikes! They might fit in with the period of Main Street but they look really cheap and tacky.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,... You're always a day closer to my next Disney trip!

Tacky? Really? I guess I'm the only one who thinks they look nice. XD I can't think how they could be improved. If Main Street is going to be lit up, then these props are probably just a smaller part of the decorations.

Oh, and here's another one posted this morning:

I like them, too, and I guess there is more to come to make the street look more festive. It looks at least a lot better than the Main Street decorations after the 15th birthday.

Look how they look from a distance though, they look horrendous!


dagobert

I've lived in a small town the US while studying over there and that's how the towns are decorated when there is a celebration. That's why I like it. It's much more accurate than these cheap character banners.

15MagicalYears

I totally agree, 100x better than any character banners. They are the right style, they just look very under-whelming and cheap.

dagobert

I agree with you that it's underwhelming compared to the 15th birthday. Although I liked the banners back then, they were a little bit too big.

I hope there's more to come, like lampposts, but please without any characters.

I love that they inkeep with the theming, after all the atmosphere is why I go to DLP, and the white and gold theme for the 20th anniversary is a very classy decision. It could have been a lot worse.
My concern though, is that these look like plastic birthday party decor, so are they really likely to last throughout this year? I'd hate it if they started to get damaged/blown off by wind before the year is finished.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make, they look like plastic home-party decorations - not grand, spectacular Disneyland  decorations. I'd be surprised if they survived up until April, nevermind December  :lol:.

dagobert

Are they serious? Although it's just a testing, the colour looks ugly.

It's a tribute to the dedicated work of the Disney "slippery floor" cones over the years!



Perhaps this is just a base colour, and a kind of metallic gold shimmer with be applied on top?

I must say that I actually like them. Similar to the DLR and MK Halloween overlay and if anything I think some should be a bit bigger. That's what makes them look cheap.

The (currently) yellow paintwork however... hmmm! I'm sure it will work out fine in the end. So is 'Celebrates' any more than a few decorations then?

I also must admit I like them. I'm also thinking that it doesn't have to be expensive to look nice.
