Meatball Cone and Chips

That actually looks pretty good....but I have yet to find a sauce at WDW that I really like.

DH was disappointed that the cone itself wasn't made of meatballs.

That does look good. Meatballs, cheese, sauce, and bread. The only thing that's missing is BACON!

I think the weirdest part is the side of chips. Because after I eat a bunch of meatballs and a bread bowl, I'm looking to wash it down with a salty snack. It doesn't look bad though. I think it's kind of cute.

I'm with you on this. I'd rather have fruit or veggie sticks and dip.

I name "meatball cone" is seriously making me gag. Meatballs in a bread cone makes it a little better!

I'd try it. But I agree, maybe some apple or carrots instead of chips?

Here's a free tip from old TCD . . .

 

Order the meatball cone without the chips.

 

I'll bet they will do it, and it will probably be $1.50 or $2.00 less.

 

At the hot dog in the pretzel roll place in DHS, they serve the hot dogs with chips.  We usually never ate the chips, and I would end up with a bunch of crushed bags of chips in my backpack.  On one visit, the guy in front of me says he just wants to hot dog- no chips.  And the CM told him a price lower than posted on the sign.  I did the same thing.  I think I saved $6.00 since I was buying three hot dogs.

That is also important to realize when ordering kids meals.  The meal might say it includes carrots, cookie and drink (or something like that), but most times if you don't want the sides, or the drink, they reduce the price.  It is basically ala carte without being advertized as so. 

 

Same goes at Chick Fil A, and I realize this is WAY off topic.  But if you are one who routinely removed something from your sandwich like pickles, lettuce or tomato, order it without those items.  They will take 10 or 15 cents off for each item you remove.  If you throw away your pickles each time, you are throwing away money.

meatball cones, beet lollipops...... what is this world coming too.  Reminds me of the McPizza back in the day.  I guess there are only so many boxes we can think out of

I didn't know that about the kids' meals or Chick Fil A.  But, I like the pickles, so I'll pay the extra dime. But back to Disney:  I wonder what the savings is on a kids meal if you just get the entrée?  For some of those meals, it might work out for an adult to order two kids meals entrées and none of the sides, and end up with an adult sized portion for less than what they charge for an adult meal.

TCD, I remember that 6 bucks saved.  You said enough to buy a Disney beer.

Yup.  They still got my money, but I got a beer.

 

That's a win/win.
