    If using a QS credit at El Mercado, can I get a bottled beverage (soda,water,etc) with my meal since I have a refillable mug? Also if getting an alcoholic beverage, do canned beers/seltzers count at the resort with my meal?

    Hi, Hailley! Welcome back to planDisney! I see from a previous question that you are planning your honeymoon trip. Congratulations! As a fellow self-proclaimed Disney adult, I can't think of a better place to celebrate your Happily Ever After than at the Most Magical Place on Earth.

    I'd like to congratulate you on something else, too.  You've discovered one of my favorite Disney Dining Plan hacks! When dining at a quick-service restaurant at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, such as El Mercado de Coronado at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, you can double up on beverages when you use your included resort-refillable mug. I like to use my mug for a drink to enjoy with my meal and then pick up a bottle of water or soda for my room or to take to a Disney Theme Park later. Alternately, since you can choose an alcoholic beverage as your drink option, you can pick up a canned beer or seltzer instead to enjoy with your meal or take back to your room, based on what they have available when you're there.

    Hailley, I know you've already gotten some great honeymoon advice from some of my other planDisney pals, but I have a couple of other ideas up my sleeve you might want to consider. I love celebrating special occasions with a private fireworks cruise, available for both EPCOT to watch Luminous The Symphony of Us and Magic Kingdom to watch Happily Ever After.  Or perhaps you'd like to celebrate with a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party. Both of these options are part of the Enchanting Extras Collection that, like dining, can be booked beginning 60 days in advance of your check-in date for the length of your reservation, up to 10 days.

    Congratulations again, and I hope your trip is memorable in the most magical of ways! Please bring us any other questions you may have.

    Have a magical honeymoon trip!
    Melanie
