I don't know if PI still does it, but they used to do fireworks every night at midnight. Is it the nightly New Year's Eve celebration at PI?

This is where I get off and someone else can join the ride. I have no idea what or where in Adventureland there is a reference to the AC.

Are you refering to the squirting tiki statue things with drum noises? I know some of the designs on them are easter egg like.

The only thing that comes to mind would be WDW's infamous crates which are found all over property and addressed all over property (and beyond).

There's lots of crates and whatnot in the queue for the Jungle Cruise, are a few of them addressed to The Adventurer's Club?

Ah, the world-famous Jungle Cruise expeditions. Most enter these expeditions for photo safaris, but the braver adventurers often come back with the most unique artifacts. The Jungle Cruise ships for free.
At the beginning of the queue (I think), there is a cargo hold, with an infamous sign that refers to keeping your hands to yourself, if you want to keep them at all. Closer inspection confirms that many (if not all) of these are addressed to the one and only Adventurer's Club. I'm pretty sure that the address used is actually the real address of the Club; it does use a Lake Buena Vista address.
Definitely one of the lesser-known secrets on property. I only found it because, as a personal habit, if I have nothing else to do I read every semblance of words visible. I then proceeded to be surprised exactly how few people know about this one. It's definitely worth a look next time you're in the area. Perhaps someone who is there now can take a photo for all of us? Thanks!
In any case, I believe Cheshire Cat wins! You get the next turn, sir!

I was going to say the "hidden" Mr. Toad statue over at the HM pet cemetary. It's an attraction that is permanently closed (at WDW, anyways), is something not immediately noticiable

Hmm... as a tribute to my "home" resort, does anyone know where in the parks you can find a crate addressed to Old Key West (and the DVC stands don't count :wink: )

Parks count water parks? I think I've seen this in Typhoon Lagoon. If not, I'll say... Hollywood Studios, by Min & Bill's Dockside Diner?

Oh... I forgot about water parks... there might be one in Typhoon Lagoon (that would make sense), but it's not the one I was thinking of.

I think I have seen those. Was it somewhere in DHS? If so, I would say Sunset area.

No not DHS...
Should I give the answer? Or are people still thinking/searching?
