* Like many clocks, the clock at the ball is actually ''designed'' to [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve finish its chimes at the "stroke of midnight"]] instead of start them. Why would anyone want to make a clock like that? Well, remember the guests' comments about "last year's show"? Apparently there's some kind of skit at the ball every year. Perhaps the one that was planned for that year's ball (pre-empted by the real-life drama going on) was fairy-tale themed and featured a WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve climax.
* During the Central Park scene, Robert says that you have take time to get to know a person before getting into a serious relationship, and that many relationships (especially impulsive ones) end unhappily. Giselle insists that you should be romantic and then goes into the "That's How You Know" number. It seems at first that they are presenting completely opposite viewpoints... until you realize that both characters are stressing that relationships only work if you put in the effort. And for a relationship to be happy and successful you need work both to build a strong foundation ''and'' to always let the other person know how much they mean to you.
* It's hinted that Giselle and Edward have a sort of magical influence on the real world; most obvious is when Giselle gets an entire park to join her in a musical number, but subtler is the scene where Edward talks to the TV and it tells him ''exactly'' what he needs to know, ''just as he's asking for it''. At first you think it's a coincidence, but then you realize it worked out almost too perfectly. It works in reverse too; the real world has a sort of sobering affect of Giselle, but not on Edward, possibly because he hasn't spent as much time there as she has and because he's not socializing with others as much as she was.

* In 'That's How You Know', Giselle mentions "Because he'll wear your favourite color/just so he can match your eyes". While Edward wears red, Robert wears blue, which is the color of Giselle's eyes.

** Just from the homeless man's appearance, he probably snatched her tiara with the intent of pawning it off for drug money.

* Giselle doesn't know what a shower is but knows how to open it? That and she ''knows'' what a vacuum cleaner is and how to use it only adds to this.
** She probably just read 'vacuum' off the front of it. And anyone with half a brain could figure out how to pull a shower curtain aside. The animals could have just turned it on for her.
** Alternatively, her magical musical number powers allow her to adjust to the situation as appropriate. Kind of like how all those strangers knew how to dance along with her in the park.
* Why would a romantic costume ball even ''have'' a slow dance for you and "the one you didn't bring with you"?
** Maybe the tradition of this ball is to have singles/platonic couples arrive, then get potential romantic interests to invite the object of their affections for a last dance? Yes, I know, grasping at straws.

* As someone [[JustForFun/MadeOfWin has perfectly written]] in the WMG page, Giselle is meant to directly symbolize the evolution of the Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es. At the beginning, she is a true-love obsessed girly girl (i.e. WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}, and [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Aurora]]). After she goes to New York for a little while, like about the time she gets the blue dress, she is still very in the clouds but is SLIGHTLY less naive (i.e. [[WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}} Ariel]]). Later on, though still bright and romantic, she has a bit more of a spirit and can actually get emotions like anger (i.e. [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]]). Then at the climax, she takes action and actually engages in combat (i.e. WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}). Finally, at the end, she is a very creative, hard working business woman (i.e. [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]]).
