A young Prince shows up at the Tipton, but he wants to be a real kid, so Zack and Cody help him have fun. Meanwhile, London is convinced that she's found aliens and Maddie is dragged along.
Tropes:
- An Aesop: Kids need a chance to be kids and play while they can, just as much as they need education and hard work. Even royal kids with big responsibility can only go so long without leisure before they burnout.
- Aliens Speaking English: London makes a "Welcome Aliens" sign after starting to believe their existence and Maddie asks "And what if they don't speak English?". Played straight later when they actually arrive in London's room, though it turns out to be All Just a Dream.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Sanjay eventually calls his father out on his lack of doing normal stuff, and asks for a more balanced life.
- Fish out of Water: Because he is neither used to being a normal kid nor used to American conventions, Prince Sanjay commits shoplifting because he is not used to paying for stuff.
