* The movie begins with the gang in the middle of another mystery, which has come on the tail of a string of others. When Velma doesn't get a response after finishing TheSummation, she looks over to see the others still dealing with the fallout: Shaggy and Scooby haven't come around from their faint; Fred is struggling to free himself from his trapping materials, and Daphne is climbing the wall trying to get away from a cockroach. Velma immediately declares that they all need a vacation and makes plans for one.
* Overall, there are lots of small moments between characters who don't interact as often - Shaggy and Daphne, Fred and Velma, or Velma and Daphne. The opening song sets the tone for the whole film. The whole team is being silly together, with the mystery-lovers just as happy as Shaggy and Scooby about taking a real vacation.
** The rest of the gang doesn't like Daphne's habit of playing showtunes while they're driving, but they quickly get into it when she insists, turning the first instrumental into a playful song about their hopes that this vacation doesn't turn into another BusmansHoliday.
** Shaggy makes the mistake of looking down while Velma is driving over a bridge and [[GreenAroundTheGills makes himself sick]]...which Fred quickly solves by passing back some food.
* The whole gang grab stakes and advance on Valdronya when he threatens Daphne. Yes, he may be eight feet tall and terrifying, [[AttackOnOneIsAnAttackOnAll but you don't touch one of them and get away with it]].
* Scooby and Shaggy refusing to abandon each other and then, after a reuniting MeadowRun, sing about their friendship for several minutes. And then get lost in a swamp, because of course they do.
