HIFS or onsite?

We will be at WDW for 7 nights during mid-June. I have ressies at HIFS for 103 per night for a queen suite (DH, me, DD-15, DD-6) but with all the new codes out, I am starting to second guess. Has anyone ever been shut out of a park due to capacity at that time? Do the suites make up for being off-site? How cramped are the moderate resorts?

Suslynn,
We recently returned from HIFS and enjoyed it thoroughly. We had stayed at a moderate (Caribbean Beach) in 1999 and didn't care for it too much. We found the room to be on the small side and the distances to the parking lot and the food court rather inconvenient.
We love the extra room and privacy of the suite and the little convenient touches that the HIFS rooms have. -Plus the free breakfasts and ent. card rates make it such a nice value.
-Don't know how good the new codes are but even if the rates are similar, there's a lot more space and convenience at the HIFS.
(If you're not renting a car, I'm sure the Disney transportation would weigh more heavily on your decision).
Good luck deciding!
