* Potato Land, both the theme park and name of the episode, is one big AffectionateParody of Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. At points we see parodies of Main Street (featuring potatoes) and The Haunted Mansion (featuring potato ghosts), and lots of background references. Its definitely fitting for a short released on Mickey's 85th birthday .
* In "Sleepwalkin", Goofy dreaming that he's an athlete harkens back to his sport-themed shorts from the 1940s.

* There are quite a few in "Nature's Wonderland" :

* There are four in "Feed The Birds " :

* As mentioned in the example for Butt-Monkey for "New Shoes ".: Goofy, In Donald's body, quotes word for word the last two lines of the old Donald Duck Cartoons.

* "Flushed" has two :

* "Surprise " has two:

* "Hats Enough " has two:

* "Keep on Rollin'":

* "Tokyo Go" and its focus on Bullet Trains pays homage to Walt Disney being a massive rail enthusiast. Mickey's job as a miniature railroad conductor at the end references [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolwood_Pacific_Railroad the Carolwood Pacific Railroad]] that Walt ran out of his backyard, complete with barn and a sentient train modeled after the ''Lilly Belle'', the main Locomotive for the [=CPRR=].

** Mickey swinging on the veins while hollering also refers to Tarzan.

* The plot of "My Little Garden" is similar to the classic cartoon "Mickey's Garden". Both feature Mickey and Pluto getting lost in an overgrown garden with giant insects. Unlike that cartoon, in which the giant garden is the result of a MushroomSamba from Mickey getting sprayed in the face by his own bugspray, the garden in this short is overgrown due to not having been properly maintained for two and a half years.

** Melvin the Moose, Buff the Buffalo & Max the Stag, the three talking animal heads from Ride/CountryBearJamboree, appear as decoartions in the cabin Mickey, Donald and Goofy stay in.

** Much of the music is reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing''.
