ProphetM, are you saying Pinocchio's nose is getting longer? There was no Peruvian theater on Hollywood Blvd? Adding a stool and then another? I suppose anything is possible, but this scenario on Hollywood Blvd is highly unlikely. Pretty sure we've discussed Walt's interest at eating at the Tam O'Shanter and I'm sure he frequented many, if not all of the well known restaurants in Hollywood, Wilshire and Beverly Hills. I also suspect he got behind the grill or the soda fountain at home or at one of his theme restaurants in Orange County, but the photo of him doling out the ice cream is dubious.
Hadn't scrutinized the source which is why I missed the menu link. Notice it alleges Walt ballooned to 300lbs because he taste tested everything on the menu.
The one thing that made me laugh is the site discussing pay toilets.

Fast-forward to the United States in 1935, Walt Disney opened “Walt’s”, a popular cafe on Hollywood Blvd., and the first restaurant ever run by an animation studio. In 1936, “Walt’s” also became the first establishment in North America to install pay toilets. Pay toilets spread across America and were soon common sights in almost all the major cities.http://www.todayifoundout.com/index....ay-as-you-use/

Economically challenged patrons who did without the headsets probably spent some of their time at the Peruvian theater.
