I'm sure there's a topic somewhere, but a quick search (shockingly) didn't yield any results and I've only got a few minutes, so maybe we can merge this later.
Anyway, the Paint the Night Parade, originally brought to Hong Kong Disneyland last year, is now running at the California park. It's very similar to the original, but with a few extras that Hong Kong doesn't have.

1. Tinkerbell's float is more impressive; they've shoved Peter Pan in there as well.
2. They've added in some puppets of Tigger, Aladdin's genie, Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast (with real fire by the looks of it), and Nemo and whatever his dad's called.
3. The Monsters Inc. float doesn't seem as impressive as Hong Kong's. Maybe it's not quite working properly yet, but with Hong Kong's, the doors spin/rotate a lot more. The green thing at the back (don't know the character's name) moves more as well. It could just be the video not showing enough though.
3. They've added a couple of princesses following Belle, though they're just stuck on some generic looking floats.
3. There's a whole new Frozen float, which was to be expected. I'd be surprised if this didn't get added into Hong Kong at some point. To be honest though, I don't think it looks that great compared to the other major floats, especially The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
I've just watched it on a work computer and without any sound, so I don't know if the soundtrack is any different, though I'd be surprised if it was. They seem to have taken out the whole paintbrush/interactive element though (rightly so as it just doesn't work very well at all and ruins the flow of the parade), so the soundtrack would have to be edited accordingly.
It's a great addition. The Hong Kong version is the best parade I've ever seen, and this one has just added even more to it. If they've got any sense, they'll look at replacing that awful Electrical Parade in Florida soon as well.
