Trivia
- Normally Dora's question to start the segment is, "We had such a(n) (positive adjective) trip today! What was your favorite part of the trip?", and her response is, "I liked that, too." However, there are occasions where both prompts are different.
- In Choo-Choo!, she asks, "What was your favorite part of the race?".
- In Three Little Piggies and The Golden Explorers, she asks, "What was your favorite part of the day?".
- In Berry Hunt, she asks, "What was your favorite part of the berry hunt?".
- In Star Catcher, she asks, "What was your favorite star?".
- In episodes told as a story, she asks, "What was your favorite part of the story?".
- However, she asks the traditional question in What Happens Next? and Happy Birthday, Super Babies!.
- In Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure, Santa asks, "But Dora helped Swiper pass my little test. And what part of the story did you like the best?".

- In the first two episodes, an instrumental of the Season 1-2 opening theme plays as Dora and Boots are telling their favorite parts; beginning with the third episode, it is replaced with a score.
- Starting from Season 3, Dora now says "Gracias!" after "Thanks for helping!".
- However, this first appeared in Beaches and To the Treehouse
- In any episode that features star-catching (except for Dora's Fairytale Adventure since the stars flew away immediately after they were caught), after Dora and Boots tell their favorite parts, they would count the stars they caught, either in English or Spanish.
- Starting from Season 5, Boots or another character says "Thanks for helping!" instead of Dora.
- Usually, Boots tells his favorite part first, but Dora tells her favorite part first in Sticky Tape, Call Me Mr. Riddles, Baseball Boots, Boots' Special Day, Dora Saves the Snow Princess and Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom.
- From mid-Season 1 to the end of Season 2 (beginning with El Coquí (or Backpack! in production order) and ending with Super Spies (both for airing and production order)), there was a recurring valley background when Dora and Boots were telling their favorite parts.
- The Legend of the Big Red Chicken, Lost and Found, Surprise!, Grandma's House, Little Star, and Dora Saves the Prince used a solid blue sky background for the segment.
- Dora and Boots would usually wear the final outfits received at the end of specific double-length episodes or specials during the segment, either by gift or transformation.
- There are also several 30-minute episodes where Dora and Boots keep their special outfits on despite the adventure being over, such as in Rojo the Fire Truck and Journey to the Purple Planet.
- The only double-length episodes where Dora and Boots do not wear their final outfits are Dora Saves the Snow Princess, Dora In Wonderland, and Dora Saves Fairytale Land.
- Sometimes, another character has a favorite part in addition to Dora and Boots', and is present for the segment. Hic-Boom-Ohhh! was the first episode to do this, in which Benny was there, and had a favorite part.

- Daisy joined this segment in Dora Saves the Game.
- Beaches is the only episode Dora asks Boots what his favorite part was before he speaks.
- Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure is the only episode where neither Dora nor Boots was present for the segment. Instead it was hosted by Santa and the elves to close off the framing device where he tells the story to them.

- Boots to the Rescue is the only episode where one of the characters actually says goodbye at the end of the segment; Boots said it in Spanish.
- Isa's Unicorn Flowers, School Science Fair, Kittens in Mittens, Dora & Sparky's Riding Adventure, and Let's Go to Music School are the only episodes where Boots is not present for the segment.
- Beginning with Season 5, Dora would raise one or both of her arms when she asks the viewer what their favorite part was and waits for the viewer to explain.
- However, it was introduced in "Berry Hunt".
- In the first four seasons, the music that plays during the segment is in C major. in an episode that features star catching, it gains an additional cue which goes from A-flat major to B-flat major. Starting in Season 5, the music starts in C major then modulates up to D major when the episode is about to end.
- The Legend of the Big Red Chicken and Lost and Found don't use this music at all, and instead use the instrumental intro that continues during the credits. From Choo-Choo! (or Hic-Boom-Ohhh! in production order) onwards, this music is played, and the instrumental intro starts at the credits.
- However, in "Dora's Fairytale Adventure", the music starts in A major then modulates up to B major.
- The music becomes re-orchestrated in Season 5.

- For the episodes We All Scream for Ice Cream, Boo!, Boots' Cuddly Dinosaur, Baby Jaguar's Roar, Dora's Royal Rescue and Dora's Great Roller Skate Adventure, Dora was alone on the screen in close-up as she asked the viewer what their favorite part was, then Boots appears after she says, "I liked that, too!".
- In Boots to the Rescue, Boots was alone onscreen when he asked that.
- Usually Boots stands on the right side (or Dora's left side), but there are times where he stands on on the left (or her right). The first episode where it happens is Wizzle Wishes.
- In the HD episodes, Dora and Boots are usually shown full-body during the segment.
- Hic-Boom-Ohhh!, however, was the first episode for them to be shown full-body.
- Dora is closest to the camera for the segment in Dora's Royal Rescue.
- Dora and Boots are farthest from the camera for the segment in Dora Had a Little Lamb.
- The segment was shortly used for the song "Super Bien!" in the 2024 reboot.
- In the rare extended version of Dora and Diego to the Rescue!, after all the characters say their favorite parts, the vocals from the Go, Diego, Go! Theme Song call Diego, and he swings on vines to his new Animal Rescue Center, where his family and Baby Jaguar need him as Dora and Boots cheer for him.
