Someone posted on facebook that Cap N Jack's in Downtown Disney is rumoured to close in August to make way for Disney Springs. I have never been there, looks like it's a nice place.

For at least the last ten or twelve years DW and I have started every Disney trip at Cap'n Jack's. We drive straight to DD and have lunch there. I hate to see it closed and I hope it's not permanent. We are going in November and I'll really miss our "first meal at Disney" tradition  . |

I saw they were closing also. I never had a chance to eat there so I guess I can't complain that it's gone.

For at least the last ten or twelve years DW and I have started every Disney trip at Cap'n Jack's. We drive straight to DD and have lunch there. I hate to see it closed and I hope it's not permanent. We are going in November and I'll really miss our "first meal at Disney" tradition . When I heard that Cap'n Jack's is closing, I almost went into a mild depression state. It's one of our favorite restaurants. So, I called Disney dining and found out that Cap'n Jack's is closing on August 18 because they are building an elevated walkway from Rainforest Cafe to the Lego Store during the massive changes to DD. But - there's speculation that CJ's will be refurbished and reopen on November 2nd. All subject to change according to the CM I talked to. Just in case it doesn't reopen, DW and I are making an emergency trip to WDW. We leave home the morning of August 16, and are going straight to CJ's for lunch. Since we're going to be there anyway, I made some more ADR's. Aug 17 Tokyo Dining for lunch (first time there) Aug 18 Boma for breakfast, Cape May Cafe for dinner Aug 19 Olivia's for breakfast and then leave for home. We will make other ressies when we get there or just eat at the counter service restaurants. |

I am devastated . We are at the World and had lunch at Cap'n Jack's today. The worst rumor is true. They close at 10:00 PM Saturday, August 17, and will not reopen. The building will be torn down to construct a walkway going from Rain Forest Cafe, over and around the water to the Lego Store. The CM's are being transferred to different restaurants. Cap'n Jack's started as an oyster bar 38 years ago, and was changed to Cap'n Jack's Restaurant about 15 years ago. That's about when DW and I started every trip to the World with a meal at Cap'n Jack's. I'm going to miss the place. We'll have to find a new restaurant to continue our tradition. I don't wanna and I'm going to pout the rest of the day  . |

Bless your heart Dave, I'm sorry your family tradition is being spoiled! But I'm glad you and DW got to go one last time. Now for your Dec. trip, you'll have to come up with a new tradition. I do like the idea of having a place you start every trip with.
