 * The ending of the programme, where the Doctor receives a message from the Brigadier about some urgent business, was meant to tie-in with the following regular ''Doctor Who'' serial which started broadcasting just a few days after the broadcast of this special, namely [[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygon]]''. Indeed, the Doctor and his companions begin that story hurrying to the Brigadier because of a message he sent them during [[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]''.
 * The episode include clips from the real-life films ''Clock Cleaners'', ''Blackbeard's Ghost'', ''[[The Jungle Book]]'', ''African Lion'', ''The Apple Dumpling Gang'', ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'', ''Return of the Big Cat'', ''Escape to Witch Mountain'' and ''Lady and the Tramp''.
-* The ''Radio Times'' programme listing for ''Disney Time'' read as follows: "Fantasy, adventure and comedy are all included in our summer holiday look at Walt Disney films. Introduced by Tom Baker from the Disney Odeon, St. Martin's Lane / Including ''Jungle Book''; ''The Apple Dumpling Gang''; ''Lady and the Tramp''; ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks''; ''Blackbeard's Ghost''; ''Clock Cleaners'' and ''Escape to Witch Mountain''". ''(original published text)'' This was accompanied by a black-and-white publicity photograph of the Doctor standing next to a large plastic model of Mickey Mouse, with the accompanying caption "Who's your friend, Mickey? Who? Dr. Who? Of course that's who: 5.15". ''(original published text)'' Clips from this programme were later reused in [[TV]]: ''[[UNIT Recruiting Film (TV story)|UNIT Recruiting Film]]''.

+* Some newspapers listed this special as being presented "by [[Tom Baker]] as [[Fourth Doctor|Dr. Who]]."
+* Clips from this programme were later reused in [[TV]]: ''[[UNIT Recruiting Film (TV story)|UNIT Recruiting Film]]''.
 * Interestingly, two years earlier, previous editions of the ''Disney Time'' programmed had been hosted by [[Roy Castle]] ([[Ian Chesterton (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Ian Chesterton]] in ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'') and [[Jon Pertwee]] (the [[Third Doctor]]), though not as their ''Doctor Who'' characters; Castle returned in 1976, followed in short order by [[Bernard Cribbins]] ([[Tom Campbell]] in ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)|Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' and, later, [[Wilfred Mott]] in [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|Series 4]]).
 * The theatre at which this segment was filmed at is clearly showing ''Lady and the Tramp'', explaining why the Doctor watches it ''in'' the theatre at the end. According to newspaper archives, this theatre began showing this film on 20 July 1975. Presuming that this entire special wasn't filmed on opening day, this means that ''Disney Time 1975'' must have been filmed ''after'' production had begun on [[TV]]: ''[[The Android Invasion (TV story)|The Android Invasion]]'', and likely specifically between [[26 July (production)|26 July]] and [[10 August (production)|10 August]] [[1975 (production)|1975]].
