Please help! How can I unclog a toilet that had a round peice of soap flushed. Without taking the whole darn thing apart.

Have you ever seen how long it takes in the bottom of your shower for that little left over piece of soap to finally disintegrate and wash down the drain? Unless someone picks it up, it will be there for weeks. Hot water helps, but the best way is with an auger or removing the toilet, flipping it upside down and pushing it out backwards through the trap to the bowl with an auger. Toilet augers are only about ten dollars at the Hardware Stores. But, if you want to wait, it will be a while.
Good Luck
