CS dining selection question

[Disneymom65]

June will be our fifth trip to WDW, but the first time we have used the DDP. We usually buy the refillable mugs. But, at the resort for a CS meal, can you pick any kind of bottled drink and any kind of dessert, including ice cream?

Thanks! 35 days to go!!:party:

From Disney Dining Plan FAQ (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=91180)
Q: Do Table Service and Counter Service locations have a special menu or exclude certain items from the plan?

A: There are no separate menus for the Disney Dining Plan, but individual locations do control what items are excluded from the plan. Although exclusions are generally minor, most regularly exclude the following items:

Merchandise and Photo Imaging
Pizza delivery
In-room mini-bars
Souvenir or refillable drink mugs
Glow Ice Cube Drinks
Alcoholic Drinks
Specialty Non-Alcoholic Drinks
Entrée "add-on"
Sampler Platters

Individual locations can vary what is excluded from the plan from seating to seating, so Guests are encouraged to check with their server prior to ordering for items excluded from the plan at their time of meal.

Last sept when we were at POFQ we were able to choose drinks in separate containers, like milk, powerade, juices... as the beverage included with our CS meal, and then use our refillabale mugs with our meal. We took the others back to our rooms for the frig. I think we could have chosen bottled soft drinks as well.

There were many dessert choices, sorry i don't remember about ice cream specifically.

As noted below, each location is different. We found this to be true at almost every place we dined. A LOT of the CS locations only have like 2 dessert choices and they are prepackaged. I don't remember many having ice cream as a dessert choice.
