Trivia[]
- A storybook version of this episode was released around the same time, known as Donald Duck and the Mouseketeers.
- When this episode aired on the Disney Channel, the Chinese-themed verse of "Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck" was cut, as was The Vanishing Private. However, both scenes were retained when the episode was featured on the "Disneyland Anthology" laserdisc and the Chronological Donald DVD.
