Check out my review of the DI&S:

We stayed there last year because my DH had plantar fasciitis and couldn't walk as much as usual. It was clean and spacious and so close to DLR. With 4' of us in our suite, everyone had their own bed. The pool isn't nice so we did not use it. It wasn't a hotel you'd want to hang out in relaxing, but that was ok because we spent most of our time in the parks. Looking back at our trip, I missed the relaxing and swimming we enjoyed when we stayed at other hotels. There are two rooms and 4 beds, so it could work for you, but there's only 1 shower.
You are obviously close enough to the other family to plan a trip together, but do you really want to spend every moment together? Three of our last 4 DLR trips have been with extended family. We love it, but need our own room to get a little time each day away from the gang.
Twice we stayed at the HOJO with two other families. We got adjoining rooms so we could eat and hang out together when we wanted to, but have some privacy when we needed it. The HOJO is a lot nicer than the DI&S. The landscaping, pools and rooms are lovely. We really enjoyed spending time at the pool together. It's more expensive than the DI&S and you'd need two rooms, but it still costs a lot less than staying onsite. (I miss pre-remodeling prices we got in 2011 and before.)
Next summer, we will be 2 adults and 6 kids. We are renting a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo. It'll be a great trip, but I have a feeling it's going to be really noisy with 6 kids so the extra space is a must.
