Notes/trivia[]
- Disney Press published a book adaptation called Me and Our Mom on March 3, 2015.
- Tracey Ullman guest stars in this episode as Marla, but is subsequently replaced by Laraine Newman.
- The scene in "Me and My Mom", where the whole family are together appears to be after the marriage ceremony between Roland and Miranda, which was skipped in Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess (where Miranda simply went and picked up Sofia, as if Miranda got married without her daughter).
Errors[]
- If "Me and My Mom" does set the aforementioned scene at the royal wedding, then Amber seems unusually happy for someone who wasn't that thrilled about having a stepsister.
