Trivia[]
- This special marks the debut of the new school set, the new clubhouse set, the new classroom set, the new treehouse set, the new Scooter, and Miss Etta puppets, the new Barney doll, and the new costumes of Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop.
- This is the first appearance of Rickey The Traveler
- New CGI magic sparkle effects are introduced and will also be used in Our Special Friend Barney.
- The descriptions of the new dinosaur costumes: The new Barney costume has the base of the costume Aronzo wore at universal studios[1] but has different elements with the feet of season 3 and 4, have smaller pupils by 5 percent, blinking eyelids and moving eyes with the help of electronics, and a head shape mixed between a day in the park with Barney and season 6. The new BJ costume has the base of the costume from Barney's Musical Castle and Barney's Dino Dancin' Tunes but his hat from Barney birthday bash, has a movable jaw blinking eyelids and moving eyes with the help of electronics. The new Baby Bop costume has the base of the costume Lauren wore at universal studios[2], and season 13 costume but has the upper nuzzle from the Stick with Imagination! and a movable jaw blinking eyelids and moving eyes with the help of electronics similar to BJ. Our Special Friend Barney has similar costumes.
- The new Barney doll takes the form of a stuffed Barney sold in stores and universal studios but has the base of Season 4-6, movable arms, bendable feet for posing and standing similar to the season 2-3 doll, and with the feet, eyes, and mouth/muzzle/nose/teeth of the Baniwa Chingudeul doll. a similar doll is used for Our Special Friend Barney.
- The new Scooter and Miss Etta puppets resemble the original ones but Scooter also resembles the puppet replica of him built by Brandon Smith.
- The new CGI version of Barney's come to life effect is supposed to resemble the come to life effect from seasons 3-6[3] but the doll has a purple glow and sparkles before the shooting stars hit it.
- Starting with this special (not counting Barney's Big Family Adventure, and The Quest For Friendship-A Super Dee Duper New Movie) we see Barney turn into a doll on screen. the effect is done by Barney glow and have sparkles on him before they disappear showing the doll. there are a few exceptions but its mostly permanent thing (similar to rare moments in the show where Barney comes to life off screen and we don't see him).
- Starting with this special and the Our Special Friend Barney episode spring time cleaning The little dinos now appear and disappear magically VIA magic sparkles with the sparkles being the respective colors of the dinos (BJ's is yellow, Baby Bop's is green).
- Bob West and David Joyner returned in this special as Mr. Matthew and Mr. Eugene who try to help encourage Marie to help her make friends and to give her the Barney doll to lead to her meeting Barney, they return near the end to check up on her when its time for her to leave (also making it the first time both of them are seen next to Barney). they're characters names are based off of they're real life middle names.
- though "I Love You" appears in the episode the theme song for the series is sung at the end to set the timeline in stone think along the lines of the pilot episode of fraggle rock back to the rock, bunk'd, and some other tv shows that also went along that line for the pilot. pretty much the theme song starts after the Barney says segment.
