DVC and dining plan question

[ipuffyheartdisney]

My family and extended family members are renting a grand villa from a DVC member. There will be 13 of us total, with my family of 4, two adults, one child of age 5 and one turning 3 during the trip. My question is, if we decide on a dining plan, do all the credits go on all of our bands or do they split them up for each family in the villa? So for 12 people (who qualify for the plan, my daughter is still 2) and 7 nights at the resort, it would be 84 snacks, 84 counter service and 84 table service credits!

I would hope that we wouldn't have to keep track of all 84 credits and have to worry about one of my family members eating 10 snacks in one day, leaving us with nothing.

I have been on the dining plan before, regular and deluxe, and have found it best to pay oop, but my parents are interested in it. If we cannot have them divided up by family there is no way I would get it!

whenever we've bought it, all our names have been on the booking, and all points went on to same account. In other words all bands shared the points.

I think if your entire family and extended family are listed on the booking, it should be fine.

Dining plan credits are pooled by room. All occupants of the room have access to all of the pooled credits for that room.

There are ways to track it on the back in but not segregate the credits. I wouldn't get it if that's an issue for you OR I'd consider the deluxe plan so you have enough credits that it won't matter though this is likely not cost effective.
