At their date, Jessie is bewildered to be at a 'Welcome Home Lisa' party with all of their friends. She asks Jessie to pretend to be Lisa on a date with David, so Lisa can go on a date with Hawk while their father goes on a date with Cassie, Susan, and Nick (Ray Baker), his best friend. She doesn't know how to break it to David that she finds Hawk more 'unpredictable'. Lisa, who is dating David, has invited a boy she met in Paris, Hawk, to eat at their house. Jeffrey initially doesn't like Susan's ideas, but comes around to allowing them due to Cassie. Cassie wants to re-design their California beach house with the help of Susan Evers ( Hayley Mills), a house designer. As he picks his daughters up from the airport, he neglects to tell them over the summer he has become engaged to Cassie McGuire (Patricia Richardson). Jeffrey Wyatt ( Barry Bostwick) is the widowed father of three triplet girls: Lisa, Jessie, and Megan. Mollie Miller, the film's director, would later direct the last sequel, The Parent Trap IV: Hawaiian Honeymoon. It was previewed on Disney's films released that spring next to Davy Crocket and The Absent-Minded Professor. The film debuted on the Disney Channel on April 9, 1989. Leanna, Monica, and Joy Creel were also set to play Lisa, Jessie, and Megan Wyatt, the triplet teens with different personalities: Lisa, the wild and fun one Jessie, the quiet but sweet one and Megan, the nice and truthful one. The latter would soon be popular for her Home Improvement fame. Barry Bostwick was cast as Jeffrey Wyatt and Patricia Richardson as his snobbish girlfriend, Cassie McGuire.

Hayley Mills returned after her Disney series, Good Morning, Miss Bliss had ended. In 1989, Mollie Miller soon began production on the next sequel, The Parent Trap III. She expressed no interest in returning for more sequels. Hayley Mills returned in 1986 to the Disney Channel when she filmed The Parent Trap II.
