Chris-
Where's Captain Jack's??? I've not heard of that one! Now, the Ale House serves a dessert called Captain Jack's Buried Treasure!
BTW - I think I would like your mom!! She sounds like my kind of "tormentor"!!

Oh man, it's one of the oldest restaurants/bars in Disney!! It's in the original Disney Village area (or as we still call it, Lake Buena Vista), it's across from the Rainforest Cafe. It sits on the water, and has a rather large wrap-a-round bar that has great views of the lake and pretty much all of the Disney Village.
They serve the best clam chowder you will ever have! I know some people don't like the place, but we have been going there since I can even remember, heck, the only time I ever saw my grandfather drink a beer was at Captain Jacks when I was a kid. It's easily our #1 place in all of Disney (next to Crockett's Tavern of course ).
I HIGHLY recommend it, if you've never been you should definitely try it out. It's a bit on the expensive side, but well worth it.
Fun Disney fact of the day:
The bartenders at Captain Jack's are some, if not the, longest employed bartenders in all of Walt Disney World. Their one bartender, Tom, has been bartending at Captain Jack's for 23 years. Quite a few of their other bartenders have been there for 15-20 years. That's what makes it such a great place, you always feel like you're coming back home
Ok, and since I'm bored, here is a map that shows you where Captain Jack's is (I really can't tell you how much this place has a very large part in our family memories...lol)....
