She's not prepared at all for a royal visit, but Dora vows to make her garden party fit for a Queen! They help decorate Isa's Garden, get the Rosettes to perfect their musical performance, and even manage to get Chompy squeaky clean so he can present a bouquet.

(The Queen of Reptiles is visiting Isa, but the garden's a mess! Dora helps her get everything ready in time for La Reina's visit.)
Sammy's Surprise: Dora and Boots say goodbye to the little animals who are going off to day camp, when they meet an adorable little sloth named Sammy. Sammy moves too slow to make it onto the bus, and thinks he'll never make it to camp.

(Dora meets Sammy the Sloth, who needs to get to Day Camp on time so he can show everyone a special surprise.)
The Floor Is Guava: It's Banana Fest, and Boots is celebrating in style: he's even wearing a banana costume! Things are going great until the Guava Geyser erupts, covering everything in gooey sticky guava. Boots doesn't want Banana Fest to be ruined, so he and Dora set off to the Geyser, avoiding the sticky pools of guava on the way. With the help of Isa's flower float which uses Chompy to chomp up the globs of guava, they make it to the geyser where Boots makes the ultimate sacrifice: he uses his banana suit to plug up the geyser. When they return, Boots discovers that he loves the combination of guava and bananas! (Boots wants to enjoy Banana Fest, but the Guava Geyser is erupting! Dora needs to stop the geyser and save the festival.)
We Are The Grumples: It's Picture Day, but the Grumpy Old Troll runs away just before they take the picture! Dora and Boots follow him to a wacky world under his bridge, where they solve challenges from silly little creatures called the Grumples.

(It's Picture Day, but the Grumpy Old Troll runs away! Dora follows him into Troll World to get him to come out for the picture.)
Crabby Wedding: Dora and Boots are setting up their friends' crab wedding, when suddenly, Swiper swipes the ring and loses it in the ocean. With the help of Tico/Bip Bip's boat, they water ski towards Rainbow Reef, but not without having to avoid the Tickle Fish!

Partly Claudia: Dora and Boots want to get to a water slide with their friends, but the water's all dried up! They meet Claudia, a super energetic rain cloud, and Dora asks if she can come with them to the water slide so she can bring the water back. Claudia agrees: she loves to rain! Along the way, Claudia's rain and wind powers come in handy to cross obstacles, like watering a plant that grows across a canyon so Dora can safely cross. Claudia rains on the slide saves the day! (Dora and Boots take Claudia, an energetic young rain cloud, to rain on a dry water slide.)
Ranita's Magic Stripes: It's Dora reads a story about how whenever someone's not feeling well, saying "Sana Sana colita de rana" summons a magic frog that heals them! Just then, Boots walks in with a bad case of Tickle Tail. Dora summons Ranita, but she doesn't have her magic stripes yet, and Tickle Tail can only be cured with magic. To earn her stripes, Dora, Boots, and Ranita travel across the rainforest helping friends in need like Chompy, Tico, and even Swiper!
