* ''Vacation'' was a direct-to-video episode. The following two episodes were labeled on the cover as bonus episodes.

* On the back cover, the synopsis for the last two episodes said "Whether they're off to the "Graham Canyon" or "Ice Cream Mountain", every Rugrats road trip is a guaranteed misadventure." Presumably, this synopsis implies that the episode order on this video was slated to be the first episode, followed by "Graham Canyon", then "Ice Cream Mountain", before a last-minute change.
