Errors

 * Ronald is driving around Miss Twilly on another school trip again. Ain't nothing wrong with that scenario.
 * And again it's another school field trip with only three high school students and a junior high student tag along, who for some reason never goes to her own classes with classmates her own age.

Home availability

 * Warner Bros. owns the show, while Disney owns the characters, making it difficult to release this episode onto DVD.
