If my family wants to grab a good spot to watch the fireworks, can I take all their magic bands and grab us food from a quick service restaurant. We have the dining plan, but do we all need to be present?
I've not used the DDP with Magic Bands (so it may be different, but I really Doubt it.)
Everyone on the reservation has access to ALL the dining credits. So you don't need to "grab all the bands" any band should allow you to get what you want.
The Credits are also not per day or per person, the are a single large pool, where the size=(people in group)*(credits in plan)*(nights of stay), so 4 people (2A and 2C) on the DDP (1snack, 1counter, 1TS) for 3 days has 12snack, 12 counter and 6A+6C TS.
Some people take there snack credits, and after check-in go to the giftshop and grab a bunch of treats to "store in the room."
As pp has said, you only need one band as the whole reservation works as one thing. Same thing for whne you're all together to order, only one band needs to be scanned to take off everyone's dining credits!
