I have created a timeline from the founding of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.) to the present. This timeline allows for comparison with events at Tokyo DisneySea (TDS), but please note that they do not necessarily share the same world-setting.
Furthermore, please be aware that while the American Waterfront shares its world-setting with the Tower of Terror, it is ambiguous whether it shares a story with S.E.A.
