    The reason why I listed only the exclusive rides is because rides that are at both places cancel each other out when it comes figuring out who has more rides. It is a shortcut that saves me the time of having to list every single ride.

    Attractions (there are no rides at WDW and only one at DlR) at Walt Disney World's main parks not found at the Disneyland Resort:

    Country Bears
    Hall of presidents
    Philharmagic
    Stitch Encounter
    MILF
    Body Wars (no longer counts as it's closed)
    American Adventure
    Circle of Life
    WOnders of China
    Oh Canada
    the France film
    Illuminations
    Festival of the Lion King
    Pengani Forest Exploration trail
    Maharaja Jungle Trek
    Flights of Wonder
    Finding Nemo Musical
    Boneyard
    Indy Stunt Show
    Lights Motor Action
    One Man's Dream
    Little Mermaid
    Beauty and the Beast
    Total 45

    Attractions found at the Disneyland Resort not found at Walt Disney World:

    Jolly Trolley (no longer)
    50th Exhibit
    Cinema
    Soon to reopen Castle walk through
    Subs
    Bread tour
    Tortilla Tour
    Aladdin
    Blue Sky Cellar
    Total 31

    So on attraction count DLR loses by 14, but gets huge bonuses for everything being in walking distance and of a higher quality! Aso streetmousphere not counted.

    Indeed the MK is criminal - it sucks. It pretends to be a DL or DLP, but it is not.

    While I'll tend to use the word attractions whenever possible, I've always hated that bit of literal sophistry (sorry, dave!). If I get in a vehicle and it moves while showing me entertaining stuff, then it's a ride.

    I'd bet that 90% of the guests use the term "ride." Sometimes I feel like kind of a geek using the term "attraction" anywhere other than LP :)

    Nice list schoolsinger :)

    ah yes, but to discount something like american Adventure or Country Bears because you do not move does not feel right either.

    Amazed - it is indeed Mr Toad's Wild Ride

    Missed some DL stuff Dave:

    I did not include non-3d-films or shows.

    WDW exclusive:

    Magic Carpet
    Country Bears
    Hall of Presidents
    Philharmagic
    SGE
    MILF
    CoP
    Peoplemover
    UoE
    M:S
    TestTrack
    SSE
    The Living Seas (Not similar)
    Land Boat
    JIYI
    Mexico
    Norway
    American Adventure
    RnRC
    Sounds Dangerous
    Great Movie Ride
    Backlot Tour
    Safari
    Kali (not similar, imo)
    Dinosaur
    Dino Rama Spinner
    Dino Rama Spinning Mouse
    Everest

    Disneyland:

    Indiana Jones
    Canoes
    Casey Jr.
    Storybook Land
    Pinocchio
    Mr. Toad
    Alice in Wonderland
    Matterhorn (Could be 2, but count as 1)
    Roger Rabbit
    Subs
    Monster's Inc.
    GRR
    Flik 1
    Flik 2
    Flik 3
    Flik 4
    Screamin'
    Triton's carousel
    Maliboomer
    SunWheel
    Orange Stinger
    Golden Zephyr
    Jumpin' Jellyfish
    Mulholland Madness

    ---

    So by my count, without taking quality of attractions into consideration. Taking into account traditional-ride type attractions with 3d movies/cycled shows. DL has 4 less attractions. Of course there is gray area like the former Mr. Lincoln space or Sounds Dangerous, but I think my list is pretty accurate.

    In my mind, DL has 3 less attractions.
