Excellent question. Rides are just one type of attraction we have at the resort. We also have live shows, movies to watch, parades, fireworks, walk thoughs, shooting galleries, etc. All are types of attractions. All rides are attractions but not all attractions are rides. This is true in both parks. I hope this helps. - BalooTBear  904.4 #97 10:49AM

All the "rides" at Disneyland are attractions. We use this term to differentiate from other parks because no other park compares with the design, imagination and artwork at DLR. Disneyland attractions tell a story with a beginning, middle and end. They are a combination of art and imagination. Add a little magic and you have a theme park, not an amusement park. - MyPark  944.1 #91 10:26AM

DL has a better mix of both, that being said DCA has more rides and less rides all at the same time. - dlr_talks  3.2 #21900 10:01AM
