Trivia[]

  • Although this special premiered in 2011, it was made in 2010 according to the credits.
  • This is the first Dora media to be produced in high definition (HD). This will later become permanent in A Ribbon For Pinto (or Dora's Easter Adventure in production order).
  • Dora and her friends went to multiple places on their quest to get back their concert tickets.
  • Boots was seen near the end of the episode.
  • This serves as a pilot episode for Dora and Friends: Into the City!, which premiered in 2014.
    • On top of that, it lasted over 30 minutes.
  • Before Dora and Friends: Into the City! premiered, we learn that Alana is into sports; Naiya knows her way around cities that are ancient and modern and Emma is into music and can play the violin.
  • This episode has 12 songs, including the theme song and counting all versions of Todos Juntos as one song, the second most amount of songs in any Dora media, the most being Dora's Pirate Adventure which has 16, excluding Dora The Explorer Theme Song and ¡Empujen!, counting Stop and Think/The Map! as two songs and both versions of Pirate Costumes as one.
  • The background in the closing credits is similar to the one in Dora and Friends, but with a cloud in the backdrop.
  • During the underground city map sequence, flashbacks from Super Spies, The Shy Rainbow, and We All Scream for Ice Cream were shown.
  • The quote "¡Vamos, Dora, vamos!" is heard by Naiya when Dora swings through the fair banners, quite reminiscent of Diego's "Al Rescate/Una Adventura" scene with Dora from Go, Diego, Go!.
    • On top of that, an instrumental remix of the Travel Song can be heard. Thus, giving it a rescue feel from the said series.
  • Despite this video being launched eight years before Let's Go to Music School, which launched in 2019, the events of this episode probably took place after the events of said episode. This most likely makes sense because Dora and her friends have gotten older, and Dora has moved from the rainforest to Playa Verde (formerly called “Puerto Verde”).
