Trivia

 * When D.W. is cooling herself in front of the air conditioner, Arthur brings a glass of lemonade to her which contains two ice cubes. D.W. asks if there are still some ice cubes left in the freezer, and says, "Things have a way of disappearing in that freezer." This may be a reference to the disappearance of D.W.'s snowball back in the Season 1 episode D.W.'s Snow Mystery.
 * The blizzard from the Season 4 episode The Blizzard is mentioned in this episode.
 * D.W. says that she will miss the Mary Moo Cow Special. This may be a reference to the Mary Moo Cow Show being cancelled back in the Season 5 episode The Last Of Mary Moo Cow.
