No, it is actually a real thing that exists although I don't know if it predates the AC.

And how much is it now utilized at other parks? Specifically WDW.
Pretty sure it has ties to the Skipper Canteen.

It does and I think they tied Lord Henry Mystic into it from Mystic Manor in Hong Kong...

Now you have me waxing about an Adventurer's Club returning in some capacity as a large Salon in the Grand Floridian - and it makes me so happy and sad at the same time...

The S.E.A. originated from the Adventurer's Club in Pleasure Island (opened in 1989)...that pre-dates Tokyo DisneySea (opened in 2001).

Actually, the Adventurers Club was an inspiration for the S.E.A. S.E.A. made it's first appearance at the 2001 opening of DisneySea. The Fortress Explorations attraction gave guests the opportunity to join S.E.A. Magellan’s restaurant served as the meeting place of S.E.A.
The Tower of Terror was then themed to Harrison Hightower, a member of S.E.A.
It next jumped to Hong Kong for the opening of Mystic Manor. The attraction contains many references to S.E.A in its queue. Hong Kong also has an Explorer's Club restaurant that refers to S.E.A. (and contains props from the PI Adventurer's Club). Aulani has a reference to Harrison Hightower in a letter from Adventurer's Club Presiden Pamelia Perkins, but it does not mention S.E.A.
The Disney Cruise Line and Typhoon Lagoon all reference Mary Oceaneer as a member of S.E.A. At WDW, S.E.A. first appeared in Big Thunder with Barnabis T Bullion as a member and in the Skippers Canteen which features a S.E.A. dining room, S.E.A memorabilia and adds Dr. Albert Falls as a member. Jock Lindsay is also listed on the menu at his hanger bar as a member of S.E.A.
It is also important to note that S.E.A. predates the Adventurer's Club in time setting. The Adventurer's Club is always 1939 while S.E.A. is set in the late 1800's. So, it is possible that the Adventurer's Club is a later incarnation of S.E.A.

A while ago someone had suggested to me that they should look into doing a dinner show with the Adventurer's Club type of show. This could be an interesting evening out. Even two versions, one earlier in the day for more family friendly humor and one later in the evening for adults only. What do you think? Marie

I think Disney is doing things the right way nowadays. Take the classic Disney movies/feel and put it everywhere. I think that is what people expect, hence the change to more IP in the parks and beyond.PHOTOS - Beauty and the Beast inspired lounge to replace Mizner's at Disneys Grand Floridan Resort

It looks good folks. Not tacky or over the top, nice, luxurious, moody. IT's a win from this current concept art in my book.PHOTOS - Beauty and the Beast inspired lounge to replace Mizner's at Disneys Grand Floridan Resort

I'd feel odd looking up the chandelier.

Yes, I love the idea of S.E.A. as a fictional backstory that relatively smoothly ties several things together in the Disney parks.

It looks beautiful... and still an adult-oriented space. I’m relieved and optimistic!

The problem isn’t if it’s pretty.

It’s totally off theme, but, given there’s no way back, it looks as good as we’re going to get!

Few things make one feel truly whisked away to the Florida Coast like a bar with classical Baroque designs and French furnishings.
Themed entertainment should be more than placing the customer "inside" a movie. What story is this telling? Or more appropriately, as it's within an already themed environment, what story is this space reinforcing? The story, at least to me, is "you're in Disney", and very little else.
