 The idea for the episode was pitched as a writers retreat several years earlier but nobody ran with it. This happened with "[[The Springfield Files]]" as well. [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]] then left to work for Disney. However, they struck a deal with Disney where they could work on four episodes of ''The Simpsons'' whilst working at Disney so they decided to write the episodes.<ref name="Jean">{{Com|Jean, Al|Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious|Eighth|(2006).}}</ref> The episode was Al Jean's idea and Mike Reiss told him that he didn't want to do it, and Jean was going to write it by himself. He eventually relented and it turned out to be one of the best regarded things they had done together. The writers also asked {{W|Julie Andrews}} if she wanted a part in the episode, but she declined.<ref name="Reiss">{{Com|Reiss, Mike|Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious|Eighth|(2006).}}</ref> The creators hoped that the many musical numbers featured in the episode would help make it long enough to air, but it still came out a bit shorter than necessary. Several additional scenes, such as the full-length [[Opening sequence|intro]] and an [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show|Itchy & Scratchy]] [[Reservoir Cats|segment]], were added to pad out the episode.<ref name="Jean"/> The part where Homer attacks [[Mrs. Pennyfeather]] has Homer calling her "fakey, phony". This part was ad-libbed by [[Dan Castellaneta]] and not part of the script.<ref name="Reiss"/> [[Matt Groening]] was also very nervous about the episode.<ref name="Groening">{{Com|Groening, Matt|Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious|Eighth|(2006).}}</ref>
-Mike Reiss wouldn't let Shary Bobbins do anything magical in the episode because they wouldn't have magical things happening in other episodes.<ref name="Reiss"/> [[Eric Stefani]] served as the layout artist for most of the musical moments as he is also a musician.<ref name="Sheetz">{{Com|Sheetz, Chuck|Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious|Eighth|(2006).}}</ref> The episode was done with a skeleton staff of [[Reid Harrison]] and [[David M. Stern]]. This was because Jean and Reiss were working freelance at the time.<ref name="Reiss"/> After the park scene, the "[[We Love To Smoke]]" song was supposed to happen when the family went to visit [[Patty]] and [[Selma]].<ref name="Jean"/><ref name="Sheetz"/> However, this was cut from the episode because it didn't get any laughs.<ref name="Reiss"/> The song was later included on the album ''[[Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons]]''.<ref name="Jean"/>

 The snow effect during "[[A Boozehound Named Barney]]" is layered over the other animation.<ref name="Jean"/> The snow also falls in the same way no matter the position of the camera.<ref name="Groening"/> When Grampa flies off with Shary's umbrella, he yells "I've never felt so alive." This line was added during coloring as they realized Grampa's mouth was moving. [[Quentin Tarantino]] was also offered a role in the episode as himself but he declined.<ref name="Jean"/> During the song "Happy Just the Way We Are", they forgot to record Dan Castellaneta singing part of the song, so they just have Homer standing around mouthing to the words. The ending of Shary Bobbins going into the jet engine was originally intended to be a gag on ''[[The Critic]]'' but it never got made. So, they reused the gag in the episode.<ref name="Reiss"/>
