    • Coincidentally, Dora tells the story about the Big Red Chicken in the exact same big red book from the very first Season 1 episode, The Legend of the Big Red Chicken, she also mentions that he loves doing his chicken dance in the story when he's happy and he is seen as his Season 1 self too.
  • Dora and Boots do not sing the Travel Song in this episode, they instead sing "Go Nightlight".
