Here’s Everything We Know About Disney’s Secret Society of Explorers and Adventurers Movie

Did you know that Disney has a SECRET society hiding in plain sight around the Disney parks? If you’ve been to the Magic Kingdom, chances are you’ve passed by some hidden logos and secret details without even noticing!

Now, what if we told you that Disney is working on a movie as mysterious as the secret society it’s based on? The details may be scarce, but that only adds to the intrigue, don’t you think?

What does SEA stand for?

Before we dive in, let us introduce you to the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (“SEA” for short). SEA is a top-secret fictional club that the average theme park goer probably doesn’t know about, yet the club has ties to several attractions (and characters) in Disney parks around the world. It’s a story within the story of the Disney parks — how meta!

Look out for hidden details all over the Disney parks!

The Society of Explorers and Adventurers is a group of researchers, scientists, explorers, and other adventurers that are dedicated to exploring the world. Think of someone like Amelia Earhart — but as a Disney character!

In the Disney parks, you can see nods to SEA at places like The Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain, and Typhoon Lagoon.

If you ever spot a SEA logo or see mentions of Dr. Albert Falls, ask a Cast Member to tell you the story!
