Just back from HIFS!!!

taylor1293,
Did you mean that you didn't do laundry at HIFS or HRH? I am curious about HIFS?

Has anyone else done laundry there or should I plan to do it elsewhere (laundrymat)?

I didn't do laundry at either HRH or HIFS. We did it when we were staying at BWV's because we had the w/d in our room!

However, last year I did do laundry at HIFS, and found no problem getting a machine in the middle of the day

Sorry for the confusion!

I just got back from HIFS last week. I did do laundry. I did it at 10:30 PM and it took about 1.5 hours. It was a little crowded. There were about 5-6 washers and 8 dryers. The dryers were very slow but your dollar went a long way. We were in building 10 and the laundry room was on the 6th floor of that building.

We had a clown themed room and the kids did not like it. They mentioned that they would have liked the Coke room better. We checked in at 3 PM and the rooms were just starting to become available on the family pool side. There were plenty of rooms on the lap pool side. I do not suggest a room on the ground floor especially on the pool side. The kids stay in the pool until they kick them out at 11 PM.

If your daughter needs to wear a brace I do not recommend the small bed that pulls out of the wall. It barely fit my 5 year old. The sofa bed is probably a better option. Before you book make sure you get a cert for the free pizza party. The pizza is very good. Lots of people on the forum have them.

Anabelle:

Great advice. I don't think my kids would like a clown theme, either. I think DS would be afraid!

I'm thinking we may be better off with the queen for us and twins for them. I'm not 100% sure DS would sleep alone in the room, so having DD on the pullout might not work? Sometimes even here at home he sleeps with her or vice versa. I'm sure it's something that he'll outgrow soon, but for now that's how it is.

We still have time and once we tell the kids about the trip, we'll get their opinions.

Thanks for the info about washing clothes, too. Good to know there were more than 2 machines (although I'm sure it's still not enough with the amount of people staying there). Thanks!!
