  • Lindsay Lohan had her ears pierced especially for her roles in this movie.
  • Meredith is heard talking on the cell phone to a "Reverend Mosby," a reference to a character in the original The Parent Trap (1961).
  • Lindsay Lohan can be heard singing "Let`s Get Together" as she walks into the elevator at the Stafford Hotel. This song is from the 1961 original. Similarly, the first few notes of "Let`s Get Together" are played as the closing notes of music at the tail of the end credits.
  • Lindsay Lohan`s first movie.
  • The twins in this version are named after the daughters of director Nancy Meyers` and producer Charles Shyer, Annie Meyers-Shyer and Hallie Meyers-Shyer, both of whom have small parts in the movie. Hallie plays a girl at camp at the beginning who asks where the Navajo bunk is, and Annie plays the towel girl at the hotel who brings Elizabeth the first aid kit. The character whom Hallie Meyers-Shyer plays, conversely, is named Lindsay, after Lindsay Lohan, the actress who plays Hallie and Annie.
