Trivia

• This episode actually consists of three separate stories or mini-episodes, featuring characters from Dora the Explorer.
  • However, the third story is about as long as the first two stories together.
  • Additionally, each story has its own title: Return to Rainbow Rock, A Swiper Emergency, and Magical Night Circus respectively.
• This is the second time Swiper almost swiped a cookie, but then ate it. The first was Pinto, the Pony Express.
• Unlike most episodes of Dora and Friends: Into the City!, Alana, Emma, Kate, Naiya, and Pablo make only minor appearances in this episode, it mainly focuses on Dora's old friends from Dora the Explorer.
  • While traveling to the Rainforest, Dora mentions her adventures with her city friends which reference previous episodes of Dora and Friends: Into the City!.
• During Dora's first visit to the Rainforest in the episode, she brings gifts from her city friends to give to her friends from the Rainforest.
  • Pablo sends Benny some Sticky Tape, as a nod to an older Dora the Explorer episode of the same name.
  • Naiya sends Isa a bottle of "La Receta Especial".
  • Kate sends Swiper a backpack.
  • Emma sends Boots a photo frame with all of Dora's friends.
• Dora is transported to a magical night circus run by the Big Red Chicken when she watches the class pet.
• This is the second Dora and Friends: Into the City! episode featuring Dora the Explorer characters.
• This is Boots, Isa, Benny, Tico, Swiper, and the Big Red Chicken’s last appearance.
• The Blue Cursor is not involved in this episode or part of the reunion.
• The "We Did It/All for One" song is sung differently than in "Return to the Rainforest", they got combined once again.
• This is the second episode in which Dora and Boots go to Rainbow Rock for a picnic with Backpack and Bud to join them, they pass the same gate Dora passed before and they have the same snacks, strawberries dipped in chocolate, as in the Dora the Explorer episode "Best Friends", they also sing "We Did It/All for One" at the same place, but Dora does not cut it off this time because they remember singing it in their special way from before.
• This episode does not feature Dora and Boots singing the Travel Song, there's no need for them to sing it anyway.
  • However, Dora sang the song in solo with her city friends asking her "Where are you going?/¿A dónde vas?". Then, she replied them "To save Swiper!/¡Al salvar Swiper!" during her ride on her Magic Butterfly.
