When using DDP, do kids have to order a drink from the "kids drinks" section of the menu? I noticed the options are usually soft drink, milk, or juice, but are they allowed to order a smoothie or shake, for example, if the restaurant offers it?
They have to stick with what is on the children's menu. They'll usually allow substitution of a soda...but probably not a smoothie or shake. You can ask at the restaurant but probably shouldn't expect a yes.

It must depend on the place or who your server is as we had no problems substituting out the kids drink at most places. The only place that gave us a hard time was the food court at our resort.
At Coral Reef my son was able to get a smoothie and at Sci-Fi he was able to get a shake on one trip and the next he wasn't. We use DxDP, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
