-Preceded by Spring Vacation (2004).
-The first Ubstudios film to appear on DVD.
-Production began in 2004 and completed in the summer of 2005.
-Jennifer H.'s second film with Ubstudios. She went on to do one more (Squelch) before becoming a biotch.
-Filmed on location in Julesburg Colorado.
-Scenes at the "Gala" were the only scripted scenes in the entire movie, as with the first film.
-Most of the film was made without permission to film.
-Contained some of the first special effects as a primary plot point. Significant use of "green screen" shots were used to both see what the software was capable of, and advance the story, albeit comically.
-During the beginning of the Bob Seger song, the dog (Sandy) is clearly peeing on the ground.
-The tree-house as seen at the end of the film was never completed but pieces of it are still at the location in Colorado as of 2005.
-The first Ubstudios film to be released on DVD.
-During the painting (for the local pig butt farm) sequence, Justin is wearing a shirt advertising Ubstudios films. It clearly says "Crew for a Ubstudios film".
-During the gala, several dozen local residents consumed alcohol creating comic relief that was unintentional.
-The two girls dancing at the Gala previously appeared in the original Spring Vacation, and requested to be in this sequel after they heard about the original film's premiere in Julesburg, Colorado.
-Used a live broadcast from KUSA-TV in one scene describing road closures. This was an actual report taped in April of 2005.
-Despite never living up to "A Trip of Chicago", director Justin Stuboy still considers this one of his best films to date (he contributed significantly to this very page). He also says it surpasses the first film by a mile.
 

-Other-Any mistake in continuity, audio, or locations of objects during the gala scenes was purely intentional. It was extremely difficult to get the shots he wanted, and director Justin Stuboy said he wasn't worried about errors, since it adds to the comedy relief of the piece.

-Title Goof- Music performer Rigg Lechman's last name is incorrectly spelled.
