Segments

Wigglehouse

In the segment, The Wiggles are often seen performing a task at home, the outside of Wigglehouse is filmed at Dreamworld, some segments are the same as The Wiggles Show in the 2005-2007 leg with Wiggly Trivia questions followed by a song, and many segments in the 2008 leg were the same as The Getting Strong video

Dorothy the Dinosaur (third-fourth runs)

Dorothy's friends chat over Rosy Tea before admiring her Rose Garden. Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, and Captain Feathersword are familiar figures and Dorothy also introduces 4 fairy friends, Most of these segments are from the Dorothy's first TV Series with only two exceptions, the only differences are, the background music from various Wiggles songs from their own albums and extra sound effects are used, and at the end of some segments, it doesn't run for the whole song, it just goes for a few minutes, and then it transitions to another song starring and sung by The Wiggles themselves. and the songs from some episodes get through the whole song and feature additional footage starring The Wiggles themselves. although The Wiggles would introduce some segments whether it's the whole group or just one Wiggle. and in the segment Henry and the Music, there were samples of two songs that Greg sang offscreen, In the fourth run, there were more segments exclusive to this series, and Anthony and Sam or sometimes Murray appear in some segments, and the segments are divided in two parts, and after part 1 where Dorothy and one of her friends drinks rosy tea inside her house, it transition to a song starring and sung by The Wiggles themselves. the segment's intro is the same one used in the spinoff series with the only differences being the fact that it's shorter, and it used 1997 audio of the song Dorothy (Would You Like to Dance with Me) sung by The Wiggles themselves in leg 3, while leg 4 uses the karaoke version of D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur).
