IDK if a grand villa has service for 12 vs. the 8 we see in a 2BR. Even in a 2BR, there are often a few pieces of cutlery missing. We have a "travel kichen" in a small rubbermaid tub (about twice the volume of a shoebox) that includes an extra set of 4 dollar store cutlery, a couple sharp knives with mini cutting board, our own full-size salt and pepper, a few collapsible leftovers containers, a serving spoon, a spatula, and a hot pot. We have brought to DVC with us before, depending on menu plans, a crockpot/instant pot and a high powered smoothie blender. The blender you can request from housekeeping is not powerful enough to smoothie spinach. As far as the large dutch oven type pot, we've thought it was missing before or not included because it was "hidden" above the microwave where I can't even reach it - but it was there. We have cooked full meals for most of a week for a group of 8 before with the listed additions, and a brownie pan for which we brought multiple dessert ingredients that week.
For easy clean up, bake your bacon as a PP recommended and do so on parchment lined sheet pan - for 12, you may need a foil or other larger pan than the cookie sheet included. We often make breakfast casserole to make breakfasts easier - both a sweet (think banana and sausage stuffed french toast similar to Tonga Toast) and savory (bacon, spinach, and cheese between layers of bread - pour over egg mixture, top with more cheese an bake - or sausage, onions and peppers between the bread) options. All the food groups - can be warmed and leisurely eaten or grab a cold square of it and munch on the way to the bus stop. YMMV - these are just ideas that work for us.
