- If there’s one thing Imagineering has always excelled in, it’s storytelling and arguably the ultimate storyline ever created by Imagineering is that of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, the secret club that ties together storylines and characters from some of the greatest Disney attractions in the world.

This is such a fun Easter egg for the parks. I actually would love it if they developed an animated Disney+ show to explore the members and their connections to each other and the parks.
Now that I’m thinking about I HOPE they mention something of this in the new jungle cruise film whenever it’s coming out omg.
I always thought that Mystic Manor is just a Hong Kong version of haunted mansion because locals can’t accept a ghost themed ride due to superstitions. I never knew it’s an expansion from Disney Sea. This is so cool
That's bs, we don't have superstitions , it's just axed due to budgets
If S.E.A. would just get it's own movie then that would satisfy the I.P. obsession the parks have. I would love to see more S.E.A. attractions.
I love the whole aesthetic of the Society. When we went to Tokyo DisneySea last year, my husband and I scoured the park for S.E.A. merchandise and couldn't find anything. The one time Disney doesn't market the shit out of something...
James Salter I would LOVE some S.E.A. swag!
Your best bet is to search on Etsy for someone who does commissions and ask them to do an original piece.
Needs to be a movie. End credit scene in Jungle Cruse¿
Anthony Hopkins as Harrison Hightower, please.
It will probably happen
WaaGriever “Dr.Albert Falls... my name is Director Henry Jones, and I’m here to talk to you about the adventurer initiative... you think you’re the only adventurer in the world...”
Glad you talked about the society. I must say that Hotel Hightower is pretty cool. My favorite of the Tower of Terrors, design wise
If Tokyo had the more thrilling drop styles of Florida, California and Paris I'd argue it would be the best version of the attraction in the World! - Luke
Wow im a lifetime disney fan and had NO idea of this storyline. Mind blown!
Also from Sydney and keen to meet up!
Gives you something to look for on your next Disney trip!
Sounds good, we will have to catch up when this whole World situation blows over! - Luke
@@ReviewTyme Sounds good Luke!
I knew about the Adventurer's Club and Merriweather Pleasure and also the connection of Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar to the Jungle Cruise and other Adventureland attractions at Disney parks, but this is... this is just fantastic! A full and (mostly) original storyline to thread its way through not only one Disney park/resort but ALL of them? Please, there MUST be more.
I also very much agree with those who have suggested that this should be a Disney+ Original Series. Live action, if they can make it work. But either way, I am sure I would enjoy it greatly!
BTW; yes. It's been confirmed by other, official sources; anyone/anything that shares a name, vocation, backstory, etc. does indeed relate to one another. AND: yes! Just announced; the 'Jungle Cruise' movie is going to tie together several other film projects (even including movies like 'Atlantis' & 'Pirates') to create a 'S.E.A.'- based cinematic-universe!
The Bengal Barbeque in Disneyland is noted to have first been an outpost of S.E.A. members in 1899. There is a portrait of the members of the club. The restaurant also has a photo of Professor R. Blauerhimmel in a biplane cockpit writing letters to known S.E.A. members Elizabeth Doer and Bessie Steele. The coolest connection in Bengal Barbeque has to be the picture of Charlie Allnut and Rose Sayer from the film “African Queen” aboard the Jungle Cruise ship Zambezi Miss alongside Lord Henry Mystic and his trusty sidekick Albert the Monkey.
This is my favourite thing, to discover secrets of all these rides we all know and love, to be connected.
This is an impressive storyline for Imagineers to come up with, it makes me want this to be a movie or a TV show!
Was always fascinated by the lengths Disney would go to for worldbuilding
As a Disneyland Paris regular, this is so weird and interesting! We haven’t got any link to the society except apparently the Hyperion. Big thunder mountain is part of the Phantom Manor storyline.
That absolutely made my week, thanks Luke. I'm a huge SEA fan. One room of my house is done up as a tribute to all things SEA, members, attractions, etc. Naturally I have a framed print of their group portrait. I deeply regret that I never got to visit Pleasure Island in it's original incarnation but have enjoyed all that's at both coasts parks today. Until now I never knew about that Jungle Cruise overlay with the "removed" member. If Disney's ever up for making a film series based on their own IPs, let's hope that the Jungle Cruise movie is just the first of many. ( Eddie Murphy and Haunted Mansion sold separately. )
That sounds like an awesome room, would love to see it! I've always wanted a Disney Parks themed room in my house but could never find the topic I wanted to do it on! - Luke
I’m gonna go ahead and say it.... SEA Movie.... The ball is in your court Disney
Oh~ the music at the end is from Mystic Manor!! Love this ride!!
I wish Disney will add the SEA storyline to the jungle cruise movie. This will help introducing the SEA universe to the public. And ultimately, bring my favourite Mystic Manor to cinema!!
8:07 It's a shame you don't mention the Atlantian writing on this diving bell (which translates to "I Come In Peace") nor the Nautilus pictured in one of the maps at the Skipper Canteen's SEA meeting room. Even if they're not key parts of the attractions and restaurants, it's nice to see them bringing together every film that fits the time period of SEA together such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
I didn't know about those two little references, thanks for letting me know and expanding my S.E.A. knowledge! - Luke
You forgot the mention that the Curse of the Emerald Trinity's news clipping straight out named Dr. Jones. Great crossover potential.
I really hope we can see more from SEA. They'd be perfect for a comic or movie
I really don't wanna go to Disney Parks but I wanna know more about the society!
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel features quite a few SEA references in the documents, photos, and knickknacks on the walls. It was quite delightful to see them when I stumbled across them! There are also some small SEA references in the dining area next to Bengal Barbecue in Disneyland’s Adventureland.
They should make a movie out of this storyline
i wish that henderson hightower the 3d would still be alive it would add on to the story
and that the sea members would be at disneyland to
I doubt that Hightower was an OG SEA member since Sea was founded in 1538, and the Tower of Terror takes place in 1899, more than 300-years after the society was founded. So unless Harrison is a time-traveller or has an extended lifespan, the fact that he was a founder of SEA seems a little off.
In Aulani there is a letter from Adventures club president Pamela Perkins in Auntie’s Beach house. It is to Ka’ imi (I think this may be Uncle) who is a member of the club and was a regular at the Orlando chapter. It references Hightower and and a picture that she sent of his “Pillagers Brigade”. She thought Ka’ imi might want for his collection. The picture of several pith wearing white men is right next to the letter. I’m not sure if it’s still there as I took a picture of it 2013.
Are you planning to do a video on Phantom Manor/Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris?
Disney+ should make a live-action/animated series starring the members of S.E.A.!
It was introduced in Disneyland Paris in 1992, in the form of the Explorer's Club at adventureland, a restaurant that to this day still has a lot of "SEA" logo everywhere, although, i has been converted to Colonel Hatis near 2004
So, if I were to explore the Society in the parks & cruise ships in chronological order, what should I do first?
Literally the best story line by any division of Disney and most guests don't even realize it!!
I know that Hightower bears a striking resemblance to Joe Rohde, but I keep thinking to myself: Does Hightower also have a large collection of earrings on his left ear?
I am one park away from visiting all of them. It would have been cool to get some sort of honorary S.E.A membership certificate if you visit all Disney Parks.
Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is also linked to this universe! The bar was founded by the very same Trader Sam from the Jungle Cruise. Not sure if he's a member of SEA, but the bar is still connected to this story nonetheless. Great video!
Thank you for this video. Glad you liked my suggestion.
I love Tokyo Disney Sea’s Hightower Hotel, and Soarin’ Fantastic Flight for their extensive SEA theming. Same for HKDL’s Mystic Manor
Thanks for the idea Greenkai, it's always something I wanted to tackle in a video, it's such an interesting topic to research! - Luke
So here's a thought: Is the family in the Carousel of Progress part of S.E.A.? as Time Travelers? And could the father be related to Walt???
Hmmm🤔🤔🤔
Never would I have been so fascinated by this
At the Hangar Bar, there are posters for the 1939 Bigelow Airshow from the Rocketeer movie. So Jock may have met the Rocketeer.
Disney needs to create an adventurer’s club along the lines of club 33 within certain Disney parks. The membership would be based across completing SEA storyline objectives.
You, sir, should spread your idea far and wide
In the Disneyland Adventures game, the Jungle Cruise mini-games have Dr. Albert Falls
I believe Henry Ravenswood dispatched of his daughter’s fiancé and became the ghost host in the story of Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris. Though there may have been a change due to it’s update.
“Kungaloosh!”
Has anyone ever noticed the images of Walt and Roy Disney hidden within the first group portrait in Mystic Manor? The image celebrates the opening of the manor.... could this mean the Disney brothers were involved in S.E.A.?
I haven't noticed them, whereabouts in the group photo do you see the Disney Brothers? This could be a big breakthrough! - Luke
Can’t upload my own photo here but if you scroll down to the opening day portrait provided in the link, first image on the page, you can see an image of Walt and Roy as young men on the right in the photo. (Original photo was probably from around the time there were in Kansas City). Places them in the SEA’s mythology. This is the first picture you’d come across when entering the doors to the que.

@@stephenn2612 This intrigued me so I did some googling. This picture looks very similar - obviously the clothes have been altered.
disneyparkhistory.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/roy-3.jpg
@@kimbrojm That is spot-on the photo they edited in. Thank you for hunting it down! It definitely confirms that the Disney brothers are in the S.E.A. universe.
Would love to see an anthology series or connected universe of shows for SEA created for Disney+ or a cinematic universe. Fingers crossed the the new Jungle Cruise movie could set it up.
I am so mad at myself. I actually got to eat in the skippers canteen on my last visit and forgot to look for the secret room or check the books. Next time I guess.
I hope the jungle cruise movie and the next Indiana Jones film or saga includes a connection, and maybe future films like the rumored remake of 20,000 leagues or an Atlantis remake.
i will say this on the disney cruises in florida, at least when i working there, alot of their itinerary's do include a trip to an island called Castaway Cay, which is actual place.
I’m in love! I want to solve the mysteries and join the society!
I love the SEA!
Wow on my trip to Disney world we went to Disney springs and had lunch at Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar and I had no idea that it was themed to THAT Jock. With that logic it means the the Indiana Jones franchise is cannon with the universe of of S.E.A.! I wonder what other franchises we can find connections to. I think it would be cool and fairly easy to implement some sort of connection to Pirates of the Caribbean. I just love thinking about a whole expanded universe of this stuff!
Great to hear that the jungle Cruise will be remade to incorporate more of this Secret society.
The Society of Explorers and Adventurers also spells SEA, I think this suggests it has a much stronger prevalance in the name park, Tokyo DisneySea.
I wanna do this!!!!!
Not sure if anyone else saw this but at 8:09 the markings under the word “Treasures” is Atlantean from the Disney move Atlantis. Translated it reads: i rome in pease
there's another member besides jock lindsey that's from an IP; captain brieux is from the movie "the island at the top of the world"
How did I not know about this
Wow very interesting one! I made the connection with my experience at TDS when I went to HKD but apart from the tower of terror and mystic manor, i did not know there was so many references. Did the cancelled land discovery bay (backland for frontierland I believe) was in relation with a member of that society?
So the major character created for Discovery Bay later was rewritten to be a part of S.E.A. Discovery Bay though was originally planned in the 1970's so a fair while before the Society debuted, but if the land did open it may have been post-written into the story like the Adventurers Club was - Luke
I thought there was a connection with pirates & haunted mansion at dlr as well...
i went to tower of terror in tokyo disneysea, the cast member did give us a short introduction of the story but since I do not understand Japanese, I couldn't understand the storyline... :(
Than you’ll love this weeks upcoming video! Hint hint. - Dom
I thought trader sam's had some connection to SEA as well?
Trader Sams at Disneyland hotel features the Sinking Ship effect from the old Adventurers Club but other than that I'm not aware of any direct connections, though knowing Disney I bet there's some in their to find! - Luke
i was playing this castle Quest while on Disneysea japan, but really got no idea about the story or quest 😅 because every guide are only explained in japanese and also the paper map are full in japanese, so i got no idea what the hell its about. i really interested at first looking people doing it and wanted to know more until i play the quest with language barriers the only thing i get is randomly running, pressing the button without knowing how the games work. when you at disney sea dont bother to check this quest unless you really good at japanese or body language, i hope Disney japan could print the english guide for tourist too
What about the league of adventures from Shanghai Disney
I don’t know if there directly related to SEA but I think they deserve a honorable mention because the organizations seem fairly similar in nature
I WILL LOVE TO SEE REAL HAUNTED MANSION UPDATE WITH S.E.A LORE BACKSTORY
Indiana Jones' birthday is July 1st 1899.
Ok. The members you named aren’t the founders. 1538 is during the Renaissance, but those members are all contemporaries of the turn of the century from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Yes, SEA was supposedly founded in 1538, but not by those people.
If Hightower was a founding member in 1538 and disappeared in 1899, that would make him AT LEAST 361 years old at his disappearance. Do the math. These people are just members of the society, not founders.
Will they make a movie about this Society?
High tower is black sheep.
S.E.A is cool.
So apparently Expedition Everest is canon to the story of the S.E.A.
what park is shown at the very first seconds of this film ?
Hey Michael, the park shown right at the beginning is Tokyo DisneySea
@@ReviewTyme it looks awsome thank you
Club 33?
I love SEA,but its a shame that dreamfinder its not a member of the organization...
Nor henry ravenswood.
Est.August 12,1538
So it's founded in 1538 by a man who goes missing in 1899?
why do they not make a movies about them... then people no their stories and when they see them in the park will appreciate them and their references
The mcu of disney parks. So, the mcu then 😂
They made a Tommorowland movie but not one of this?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Jungle Cruise movie were to be the beginning of plans to do a whole movie series about SEA.
First 🥳
How long until Black LIES Matter and Antifa get in one of these parks run by CAPITALISTS and RACISTS...There is not ONE attraction showing Blacks in a positive way.... Don't expect CNN to tell you about it.
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel features quite a few SEA references in the documents, photos, and knickknacks on the walls. It was quite delightful to see them when I stumbled across them! There are also some small SEA references in the dining area next to Bengal Barbecue in Disneyland’s Adventureland.
