But I was mainly railing against the statement that there are no rides in DL outside of Mr. Toad - I've always thought that that was just a cute little play on words with no bearing on reality.

The discussion of what constitutes a "ride" or an "attraction" is purely subjective, based on the whim of Disney. Just take a look at the list of "attractions" at HKDL, and you will see what I mean.
Originally Posted By ChiMike Sure to both Dan and Doug. In my subjective thought there are attractions, exhibits, & shows. In a basic, traditional sense, imo, these non-moving 'offerings' could be lumped in what I consider to be attractions: Hall of Presidents Philharmagic SGE American Adventure Sounds Dangerous and for DL, Great Moments if it was still around. Considering it's not, and considering I should have never listed MILF in my original post, that brings my personal count in attraction difference to -2 for DL. Now, we start talking about quality/value to each attraction it's a complete different ballgame. Add Columbia, subtract MILF, and that's my -2. Anyone is free to categorize things any way they want. I don't count Circlevision films to be an attraction in the count even though I probably would count them since like AA shows, 3d films, etc. all they take is the push of one button.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmmm, 1st my list was just showing the differences to the previous list and aggregating the numbers of the two(it was done on my phone). Secondly, I love the streetmousephere, in fact it is one of my fav things in a Disney park. while subjective, my assertion of an attraction is, if it is in a set venue, with a continued rotation or heavily publicised timetable, then it is an attraction. 3rd - much rather go to DLR than WDW, but I am happy at either so long as I stay away from the MK (makes me grumpy).

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I was surprised when I went to WDW for the first time last year that we could do just about everything in an eight day trip.

After seeing this thread, now it makes sense. But, none of you are counting the non-theme park offerings of WDW. I mean, at WDW you get busses! No, I mean the water parks, golf courses, and numerous sporting opportunities, and WDW way outdoes DLR on hotels, restaurants and stores. Still, I'd take Disneyland over WDW any day.

Originally Posted By Westsider I've always thought the attraction/ride count between WDW and DLR was neck and neck. This proves it. And here's the scary thing for WDW.... Unless they move in bulldozers next week and start building a half dozen new rides ASAP, by 2012 DLR will have MORE ATTRACTIONS/RIDES than WDW will. Over the next three and a half years, Disneyland Resort is getting five new rides; Little Mermaid Red Car Tow Mater's Junkyard Jamboree Luigi's Flyin' Tires Radiator Springs Racers If they remove the Maliboomer with no immediate replacement, and retheme the rest of the Pier stuff, that leaves DLR with one ride more than WDW by 2012. Unless of course WDW starts building stuff quickly. But all we hear in the rumor mill is that stuff in WDW is being shelved or canned for the next couple years.
Originally Posted By barboy ///I mean, at WDW you get busses!/// Is that a bonus to you(I'm not sure if you are being facetious or not)? Because I find them to be unsightly, noisy and roadway cloggers---certainly not the most 'magical' way to move from park to park.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Also, I would say overall though, DLR has better consistency and high service standards in the hotels and table service restaurants (though there are few to staff and manage to be fair).
Originally Posted By danyoung >I've always thought the attraction/ride count between WDW and DLR was neck and neck.< I'm assuming you mean the Magic Kingdom when you say WDW?
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hey Dan, if you read the whole thread, for attractions where one move's DLR does have more rides that WDW, but WDW overall has more attractions.
Originally Posted By mstaft I think if you use the old A- E ticket comparison, WDW comes out ahead in the "this resort has this, that resort has that comparison".
