Origin of S.E.A'

Tokyo DisneySea
The first official Society of Explorers and Adventurers attraction was the Fortress Exploration walkthrough attraction at Tokyo DisneySea. Inside the Fortress Exploration there are numerous references to S.E.A. as well as Magellan's restaurant. The S.E.A. was really constructed to be a worldwide organization when it was brought up as the theming for the Tokyo version of the Tower of Terror. Disney couldn't use the same backstory for this iteration of the Tower, so they had to come up with a whole new one. Thus the Hotel Hightower was born. The Hotel Hightower's backstory is that Harrison Hightower III, a member of S.E.A., is an avid collector of fine objects and artifacts. He does not have the best of intentions with said pieces, and is known to obtain them in some less-than-pleasant manners. He would display his collection at his hotel. Things go sour for Mr. Hightower when he goes out of his way to obtain the Shiriki Utundu from a remote African village. This angers the god for whom the artifact was created. The Shiriki Utundu is displayed at Hotel Hightower and the angry god makes sure to make Harrison Hightower III disappear on New Year's Eve in 1899. The hotel closed until the New York Preservation Society reopened it in 1912. Now Harrison Hightower III haunts the hotel and is constantly tortured by the Shiriki Utundu.Hong Kong Disneyland
I previously alluded to it, but Mystic Manor is also an attraction that connects to the S.E.A. The ride is set at Lord Henry Mystic's outpost in Mystic Point in 1909. The story behind Mystic Manor is in 1880 Lord Henry Mystic opened his home as an S.E.A. meeting place. Then in 1896 Lord Mystic opened some parts of his house as a public art museum. Then in 1909, Lord Henry Mystic's pet monkey, Albert, opens a Balinese music box that brings inanimate objects to life. This makes for a ride that is beloved by millions of park goers. Hong Kong Disney doesn't stop there. Since the opening of Mystic Manor is 2013, some of the Adventureland attractions have started incorporating S.E.A. in their backstories. For instance, the Curse of the Emerald Trinity, the ride overlay for the Hong Kong Disneyland version of Jungle Cruise, is a story about Professor Garrett Reed's attempt at getting the Emerald Trinity. Professor Reed was a former S.E.A. member that was kicked out by Lord Henry Mystic for using very questionable tactics in the way he would obtain his archaeological artifacts.Walt Disney World
