* Before drinking the shrinking potion, Alice checks to make sure it isn't marked, "poison", since she knows that if you drink much from a bottle marked, "poison", then it will "[[{{Understatement}} disagree with you]]" soon enough.
* When [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Alice is growing]], she considers sending mail to her own feet.
* Alice, at one point, wonders if the reason this is such a strange day is because she's turned into another kid her age. She rationalises that she can't have turned into a particular girl named Ada, since Ada's hair is curly and Alice's isn't, so she wonders if she's another girl, Mabel. Alice realises that she knows a lot more than Mabel and tries to prove it... but when she can't remember the facts, she thinks she must have turned into Mabel after all.

* One audio drama adaptation has some extra dialogue exchanges between Alice and the Cheshire Cat, after the famous scene where the King goes to fetch the executioner to cut the Cat's head off (despite the Cat only being a head at the time).

!!Real Life "behind-the-scenes"
* Illustrator John Tenniel's not-so-subtle ways of trying to talk Dodgson into removing the "Wasp in a Wig" chapter because he did not want to have to draw a wasp in a wig. In countless letters to Dodgson about other things, he said things such as ''If you really want to shorten the book and make it more efficient, I'd see no better option than to cut "The Wasp in a Wig"…'', or ''I read the new manuscript yesterday. It really is wonderful, but I'm afraid the "Wasp in a Wig" chapter is a bit weaker than the rest… You should consider cutting it.'' [[note]]In the end, Tenniel eventually spit it out, saying that there was no worse thing to ask an artist than to draw a ''wasp'' in a ''wig''. Dodgson was eventually convinced, though the manuscript of the chapter has eventually been rediscovered.[[/note]]
