The kids get a mysterious invitation for a party. All of the children get together and gather in the treehouse as directed by the invitations they received. As the kids gather inside the treehouse, Barney springs to life, delighted and happy to see all of his friends. Barney hints that they'll be seeing more friends as the day goes on. Eventually, BJ and Baby Bop join the gang as they received invitations as well. Barney makes it known that they've all arrived at his "Super-Dee-Duper Sing-Along", decorating the treehouse in balloons and streamers and eventually providing snacks. Barney makes it known that the sing-along will be filled with more surprises. Eventually, the gang gets surprised by the sound of a cow and they arrive at Grandpa's Farm. After their trip at the farm, they arrive back at the treehouse to be surprised by more of Barney's friends (Tosha, Michael and Kathy). They explain that they've been friends with Barney for a long time, since they were children, showcasing old pictures with them. As BJ, Baby Bop and the children head to get snacks, the older crowd thanks Barney for inviting them to the party and recall some memories they with him, further emphasizing that they can always count on him. Given that he has so many friends who can count on him, Barney makes the point that his friends are just like his family.

Eventually, while carrying balloons, BJ runs into Linda, Danny and Kim. He explains that there's a sing-along occurring in the treehouse. Seeing that BJ lost his balloons, it reminds the gang of an airplane flying in the sky, in which they eventually pretend to be in one. Eventually, the gang runs into Baby Bop who's using her blankey for her toys. She explains the various other uses she has for her blankey and eventually sings about her love for it.

Linda, Danny and Kim arrive in the treehouse and thank Barney for inviting them. He introduces the three to Michael, Tosha and Kathy. Linda wonders if they've played any games yet, prompting them to sing and play along to "The Clapping Song". Danny soon wonders what's next to do, prompting Barney to reveal that more surprises are in store. Kim whispers to Barney of her suggestion and gives Linda and Danny a hint of her suggestion, Danny fails to guess correctly when he said go hiking so Kim gives them another hint. Linda succeeds when she guesses that their going camping, Linda, Danny and Kim head down to the school's playground to see a tent, with BJ and Baby Bop in front of it. Everyone heads inside the tent and is lead into Barney's Fun-tastic Forest. It eventually turns into nighttime and Barney and a few others go to look at the stars. Kathy finds Linda alone near the tent wondering as to why she didn't go with the others. Holding her teddy bear, she explains that she's afraid of the dark. Kathy explains that she felt the same way and explains that her teddy bear made her feel safe when she was little too. At another area in the forest, Barney, Tosha, Robert and Hannah look at the moon and stars.

After their camping trip, Stephen wonders what other surprises Barney has left for them. Barney's older friends decide to surprise Barney with the arrival of Min and Jason. The gang recalls more memories as they look at old photos. Min shows everyone a book she enjoyed reading when she was younger, which has a picture of a castle on it. It reminds her of the time that Barney took her, Derek, Michael, and Tina to see a real castle. Robert asks Barney if he could take them to see a castle now, prompting some of Barney's old and new friends to be in Storybook Land, a magical place where fairy tales become reality (complete with a castle). Later, Kim, Jeff, Linda and Hannah arrive in Storybook Land and are amazed that they are dressed like the people who live in castles. Baby Bop and BJ show off that they're pretending to be a queen and Old King Cole respectively to Barney. Baby Bop eventually sees a book with candy on the cover, Linda thought the story was candy, then thunder comes and it's a story of rain, prompting everyone to imagine that it's raining candy. After the pretend rain stops, they see a rainbow. Back in the treehouse, Barney tells everyone (including the viewer) that they're special and they tell him the same and that he can count on them. Barney thanks his friends for making it a special day for him. While the children express they're favorite parts of the day, Barney tells them that the best part was spending time with his friends. Then confetti comes down and the party continues.
