Looking for advice for big family.....HIFS?

Where is Orange Lake?

I hope any of my comments did not incite a riot or anything. It is just for my family they would expect me to cook and clean and I am trying to escape that. My husband and I made a deal, he does the bedtime routine and all of the laundry and I do all the dishes and make breakfast. So please don't think badly of my husband he does help a lot. I just love being able to come back to a clean room.

I have stayed at both HIFS and Vistana Villages and felt there was no comparison. For the same price, the V V suites were much larger and nicer. The resort itself was so much cleaner.

As for the breakfast at HIFS, the whole area was sticky and gross and made me lose my appetite, but I was there at Christmas and it was very busy.

My kids did like the pool.

V V has gone up in price and is now more expensive than HIFS, but I would book a condo over HIFS any day.

PS Great idea about the cookies, etc. I may try that next time.
