I think we are talking about "continuous" scenes vs. "triggered" scenes, to use other terms.
In the first, you enter a scene that appears to be already happening. Examples would be the initial battle scene and auction scene of Pirates, Under the Sea in Little Mermaid, all of IASW, the finale of Splash (RIP).
In the latter, you enter a scene which kicks it off. Scenes like the entirety of Pooh, most of GMR, ToT's elevator scene, a good portion of Rise.
And then you have some hybrids where triggers are added into a continuous scene and/or the scene is designed to give the impression a character is talking to you directly. The triggered gags in Splash. Scuttle in Little Mermaid. The song portions of FEA (which are somewhere in between actually).
For the original IMAG, the opening scene with Dreamfinder was actually a triggered scene. Then you went into mostly continuous scenes with a few hybrid elements thrown in. The newest version is almost exclusively triggered scenes.
I really miss Disney's use of the continuous scenes, since they are often more immersive and higher reride. You don't see the exact same thing each time. That is based on the story, but they are rarely used these days it seems. We have to be smacked across the head with a simplistic story vs. enter a scene where a story is already underway.
