We need a live action Disney Channel timeline, what with all the crossovers they did XD
Believe me man, It never ends. lmao. For years i've taken a casual interest in mapping that. If you start with say Hannah Montana, and connect through crossovers you end up with everything from Friends to Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings to Sesame Street. It's been a secret passion project of mine for almost 5 years to try and make a headcanon timeline for it all. If you took every connection as "canon" and try and find out a way to make it fit.

Yeah, it's… certainly something… 😅
 
Coming back to House of Mouse, I did a smidgeon of research and… that takes place in Toontown, from Who Framed Roger Rabbit… I would consider Who Framed Roger Rabbit to be a meta-narrative layer above this timeline, where toons film the events of the movies/tv shows shown, but I don't wanna be a dictator so… if enough people would rather I include the two on this timeline, I'll consider it
Honestly, I might do a second timeline on here for the WFRR universe, including that, House of Mouse, cinema segments of Lion King 1 1/2, etc
 
Alright so it's a bit complicated when exactly Phineas and Ferb Takes place. There's two main groups of thought, either it's late 2000s or late 2010s.

As shown in this video:

There is evidence mentioned which shows Phineas and Ferb was intended to be in 2008.

However Milo Murphy's Law says the year is currently 2017, so you can go either way.

Now the only detailed Phineas and Ferb Timeline videos i could find on youtube say that the first four seasons are actually two seperate summers, including the one i linked. However with the season 4 finale and the beginning of season 5 it's very clear that the original run was one summer of 104 Days. I do just think Phineas and Ferb make multiple projects on the same day sometimes, it fits about as well as skinny jeans do but it makes a lot more sense than shoving in another summer.

That being said, here's the Phineas and Ferb timeline assuming the original run was one summer in 2008.

--------------------------------

Phineas and Ferb Seasons 1-4 take place from May 20th to 31st of August 2008. (Outside of time-travel, flashback, and flash-forward episodes) It should also be noted that the episodes are not in timeline order outside of the first episode being on May 20th and the original finale being on August 31st.
Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, and Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe, both take place at some point during the summer of 2008.

Milo Murphy's law takes place from roughly September 2008 to early 2009.
The Phineas and Ferb Halloween, and Winter episodes take place during this, along with Doof 101 and OWCA Files which are part of season 4 but were originally meant to be pilots for potential spinoffs.

Hamster and Gretel takes place in early 2009 but after the events of Milo Murphy's Law and before Phineas and Ferb Season 5.

Phineas and Ferb season 5 takes place between May 20th and August 31st 2009, and when they're released Season 6 and the upcoming movie will most likely also take place here.
-----------------------------

And here is what it would look like if you choose to go the 2010s route.

I personally would lean more towards 2017, and say that the original 2008 date was retconned, but I haven't seen much of either show so if one is more explicit than the other of when it takes place then I'll go with that one.

Also, can I link this and your Gravity Falls timeline breakdowns in the parent message?
 
Yes you can link them. I think the retcon for 2017 is going to have to be the route we go as Milo is a lot more explicit in dates, while Phineas and Ferb only really showed the date in smaller details.

I've loved Phineas and Ferb all my life and know it off by heart but never got around to finish the other two shows so I'm not sure if there's any details I'm missing especially in Hamster and Gretel. But from all the research I've done this seems to be the most likely option.
 
I'll watch that Phineas and Ferb video after I've finished the current one I'm watching about Disney direct-to-video sequels, seems interesting enough

There's some big things i disagree with, specifically him saying the original run was two summers when the show consistently clarifies that seasons 1 to 4 were all indeed over the course of 104 days. But that's just a small part of his video and apart from that, he makes some fun and interesting points about what the show's lore.
 
I remember seeing another one about "how many Phineas and Ferb episodes are canon" where they went with both "one Summer" and "one adventure per day" so they tried to find which episodes were definitively canon and which weren't, but… that's just… not how tv shows work…

Yeah that video annoyed me especially. Because no, basically the only episode which isn't canon is the star wars one for understandable reasons. Also there are episodes confirmed to happen on the same day so i have no clue why people just assume that doesn't happen.

Also the episodes could easily fit into 104 days. If you do assume some happen on the same day. There's also the fact that there are a big handful of episodes that do take place outside of the summer (Some of the Halloween and Winter episodes), a few episodes that take place far in the past and show ancestors of the characters, there's the episode in the future where they're all 18, and more. There is room to fit every episode in the summer, it doesnt fit great, but it fits...
 
I'm actually getting kinda hyped for a better Phineas and Ferb timeline now, screw trying to work out how Hercules and Aladdin shows overlap timeline-wise, I wanna timeline Phineas and Ferb NOW.

I suppose it's also nice that an entire academic summer will be able to get every day timelined. Heaven forbid something else happens during that summer, though…
