The Roll-the-Meatball-With-Your-Nose-at-Tony's MYTH !!!

[Wick]

To make a long story short:
Just returned from a wonderful 7 day Grand Gathering split stay at CR and AKL. Had ressies for 830 at Tony's Town Square in MK. Ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, made sure the server was watching me, and proceeded to roll the meatball across the plate with my nose to my g/f. The server must have thought it was cute, she offered to photograph it.

I assumed all was well. Until I realized I had not received my free dessert! Paying for the ice cream made no difference to me, but I would have liked a little Disney magic. I've read/heard a lot about pulling this famous re-enactment of Butch and Lady which is supposed to yield a freebie of some kind. Surprised, I asked the gentleman at the front check-in desk if he had heard of this; he had not. He turned and asked several servers if they had heard of it, and they had not either.

In conclusion, rolling the meatball with your nose at Tony's may have scored points with servers and CMs years ago, but today it stands as a myth. =[

p.s. This MAY be in the wrong forum, as I didn't realize where I was browsing. Whops!

Lady and Butch? I will have to watch again. And maybe its just me, but unless ALOT of $$$$$$$$$$ was about to change hands, I wouldnt put my nose in my food. Even for something as cute as the dinner scene between Lady and the Tramp, I mean Butch

 

[bluejasmine]

I bet that was cute! Hmm I am suprised that after mentioning it they didnt give it to you free. Hope you enjoyed your dinner anyway!

Lady and Butch? I will have to watch again.... dinner scene between Lady and the Tramp, I mean Butch

ah, you know-- when Tony comes out in the back of the restaurant and he goes, "Ey, Buuutch!"

Uhh, you put your nose in your food? Just glad that I was not eating there when you were!

My goodness, I WILL have to watch again. Its been awhile, as my oldest is going on 15, and the baby is 16months and not seen it yet... My bad

I would have given you something for being Twit of the week. Ha Ha!!

 

[BlindTyldak]

Ah cummon, quit busting him, that sounds cute! As long as you don't have a cold.

So you had the photo taken? Ummm we really need to see it...for research and all...

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Now the real question: does your girlfriend love you enough to eat the "nosey" meatball?

 

[ducklite]

OP--I have no idea where you read that. I've been on a bunch of WDW related boards for probably almost 15 years now, and have never heard this.

[teamagic]

Yes, please show us the picture. Would love to see it.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

We must see a picture of this. I have never herd of that either.

I've heard of this before, and it would be disappointing to find out it's just a myth. Maybe too many people were doing it, so it lost it's appeal with the servers??

Uhh, you put your nose in your food? Just glad that I was not eating there when you were!

You didn't put your nose IN your meatball, did you?
Butch did it with a nice gentle roll with the tip of his nose.

I have never heard this rumor. The one I have heard is if you are there for your anniversary the server will make the DH roll a meatball to the DW. It is not the meatball you are to eat. DH heard this and forbid me from making a reservation there to see if it was true.

Yes! This is what I've heard. I knew I didn't imagine it!
