When Thomas Sanders was approached to appear in this episode around July 2016, he was extremely busy getting ready his "Ultimate Storytime" stage musical tour, which was going to premiere in less than two weeks. He was giving the final touches to the script, learning and rehearsing the songs, and apart from that, he was filming three times the usual amount of Vines in order to bulk up for the month that he was going to be on the road. Despite this busy schedule, Sanders, as a Disney fan, was more than happy to take a week off to fly from Florida to L.A. and film the episode, just for the sake of being part of a Disney show.
The title is a reference to the phrase "in your face"
