DDP drink question

[AllieMallie]

For our August trip, DBF and i are on the free dining plan which i upgraded to DDP. I have a question: I know that all meals come with drinks. One of our ADRs is at 50s PTC and i was wondering if i would be able to get a milkshake as my drink but also get a cup of water. Is this ok or would i have to consider the milkshake as my dessert? Also, at other TS restaurants, can i get a lemonade and a cup of water (not bottled) and have both be considered as my 1 drink allotment?

At most TS venues, a glass of water is not considered a purchased drink and therefore won't count as your drink allotment on the DDP. The exceptions are if you order bottled or flavored waters, then those would be the DDP drink.

I've heard that at 50's PT, you can order the milkshake as your drink. I know you can do this at WCC.

I always get a glass of ice water, even if I have a tea or soda, at both TS and at QS venues, and have never been charged for the water.

Just a note...many of the non-Disney owned restaurants do not allow smoothies/shakes etc as the dining plan drink, and they would not allow the bottled or flavored waters as the dining plan drink (Les Chefs and Via Napoli are two I know for sure will not allow any of the specialty waters as the drink: they strictly enforce only plain coffee, plain iced tea and coca-cola soda fountain drinks for the dining plan beverage. No cappacino, no fruit teas, no Italian or French sodas, no Evian, etc. allowed as the drink. The waiters were very clear those would cost cash only.) They will bring ice water if you ask for it in addition to your dining plan beverage, but it is just tap water.
