Plot
Opening - The Wiggles wave their hands up high from the song "Whenever I Hear This Music".

Jeff has fallen asleep while standing and then Anthony, Greg and Murray arrive. Murray suggests they wake him up, and Greg has everyone yell "Wake Up Jeff!" at the count of 3. They count: "1, 2, 3, Wake Up, Jeff!" Jeff jumps and screams, running around to the back of the set and then to the front. Anthony asks Jeff if he's awake now and he affirms. Now it's time to Wiggle!
 * Song: "Get Ready To Wiggle"

Greg tells everyone that there going to sing a song all about four animals. At the end of the song, he says that let's all growl like a scary bear.
 * Song: "Here Comes A Bear"

While Jeff, Greg and Murray are growling at the end of the song, Captain Feathersword arrives and tickles them with the feathersword. Greg tells Captain Feathersword to stop tickling him, and Captain Feathersword agrees, stating he can show them a pirate dance they can learn.
 * Song: "Captain Feathersword"

Murray introduces the next song about a man who lived a long, long, time ago. His name was Noah and he had to save some animals from a flood so he built a really, really big boat and called it an ark. As Murray lists off the animals, the other Wiggles make animal sounds.
 * Song: "Uncle Noah's Ark"

Jeff and some kids are doing paintings using droppers. He holds out his dropper and remarks that it looks like rain.
 * Song: "I Love When It Rains"

Anthony talks about Dorothy the Dinosaur. He does not know where she is. When Dorothy arrives, Anthony still does not know but is directed by the audience to look over at a certain direction. But when he looks, Dorothy has moved. After a few misses, Dorothy walks up behind Jeff. Greg tells Jeff that Dorothy is behind him. Jeff looks to his left but Dorothy moves behind him and out of sight. After some more misses, Jeff looks and sees Dorothy in surprise. They all sing the next song.
 * Song: "Dorothy The Dinosaur"

Greg does a magic trick where he flips through a book that initially does not have any pictures. He asks the audience to say some magic words and throw some pictures into the book. He flips through the book and it now has some drawings. He then asks the audience to throw some colour into the book, but the trick does not work. He remembers to say the magic word "Abracadabra". and then it works.

 * Song: "Whenever I Hear This Music"

Jeff talks about the next song.
 * Song: "Henry The Octopus"

The Wiggles are sitting on the floor with some kids who are holding teddy bears. They are having a picnic. Greg says that he knows a song about teddy bears, and he asks if everyone can sing and do the actions with them.
 * Song: "Rock A Bye Your Bear"

The Wiggles and some kids are seated at a table, making fruit salad. Anthony explains how it's done and to make sure there is an adult present, and to use a plastic knife.
 * Song: "Fruit Salad"

Anthony leads The Wiggles and some kids in a line. The kids are holding presents. He stops and tells everyone they are going to Dorothy the Dinosaur's birthday party and that you can come along. Then they continue marching around singing and then walk off the set.
 * Song: "Marching Along"
 * Song: "Dorothy's Birthday Party"

Greg remarks what a great party it was, but now they're tired so it's time to go. They all say goodbye and fell asleep except for Jeff, who tries to wake everyone up but they don't wake up. Jeff then crosses his arms and shakes his head with a sigh.
