• Service Animals: No
• Audio: There is no audio component to this attraction.
• Weight and Size Issues: The "planes" are on the small size and will be uncomfortable for very large or very tall passengers. Riding alone in a car may alleviate this but it will be cramped.

• Child Swap: Yes
• Other Issues:

• At this location: Prior to the installation of The Barnstormer Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was a petting zoo known as Grandma Duck's Farm. The star attraction was a cow with Mickey-ear shaped spots named Minnie Moo. When construction began on The Barnstormer in 1995, the petting zoo and all occupants were moved to Wilderness Lodge. Minnie Moo died in 2002. To make room for The Barnstormer (as well as Donald's Boat) it was necessary to shift and shorten the Grand Prix Raceway (now Tomorrowland Speedway).
• The Attraction's History: The attraction remains essentially unchanged since it opened in 1996.
• Other Trivia:
  • The manufacturer: The track for The Barnstromer was constructed by Vekoma International.
