A 'show', inherently, doesn't rely on moving guests around. But sometimes the distinction can blur like with Carousel of Progress and America Sings--- which I call shows even though guests are moved.

Originally Posted By nemopoppins Well, they're all supposed to be classified as attractions but I can see differences between what [nonDisney] people would call rides, attractions, or shows. Rides: Mad Hatter Tea Party, Dumbo, California Screamin, Maliboomer, Splash Mountain, etc. Attractions: Pirates of the Caribbean, Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes, Mark Twain, It's a Small World, Soarin, Peter Pan, Disney Animation, etc. Shows: Muppets 3D (I didn't say they had to be good), Aladdin, Fantasmic, Disneyland The First 50 Magical Years, etc. Oh yeah, and then there are the You Can't be Serious If You Think These Are Anything More Than Commercials: Mission Tortilla Factory and Boudin Bakery.

Originally Posted By barboy The way I see it..... all rides are attractions all shows are attractions all exhibits are attractions ***Basically, attractions are not foods/restaurants nor hotels(some restaurants, however, could be deemed attractions like dinner shows) Strict transportation features like WDW's buses, monorails and boats are not attractions either, I say.***
