B737 NG autopilot disconnect

This may be quite a silly question, but..

Disconnecting the autopilot on final you get the disconnect horn sounding until you press again. So you keep on pressing. Everybody seem to press like a maniac for a while there. FO's as well as Captains.

Then, last week, I flew with a captain who must have disconnected in some magical way because the sound stopped immediately. I asked him how but he just smiled and said some words about experience...

You see what I mean? The question is, what's the trick, how do you disconnect the autopilot and get the warning horn to stop so quickly? It sure gives a cool impression.

Thanks and best regards from,
