Trivia:

Villain: Bigfoot
Guest Star: Laurel & Hardy
The gang picks up a stranded Laurel and Hardy on their way to the Mackinar Ski Lodge, where the Ghost of Bigfoot is scaring all the guests away from the lodge.

- Hardy switches back and forth between the bed on the left and the bed on the right when Laurel brushes his teeth in the bathroom.

- Right before Hardy says "Bigfoot footsteps," Daphne's headband turns green before going back to its normal purple.
- The sign outside the hotel says "Mackinac Lodge," however, it is verbally referenced in all cases as "Mackinar Lodge."
