Yippee - the waitlist came through! I did not think I was going to pull off a trip that includes the 4th of July on property- no studios for the whole length of my trip. And especially on short notice - I just decided to go for sure a few days ago.
So....I am headed to Saratoga Springs for my first full week at that resort. I stayed there for just 2 nights last fall when I went down for a quick Halloween party trip. Looking forward to the walking paths around the resort, the pools, and checking out the progress at DTD!
I know the 4th is crazy crowded - I was there that week in 2012. It was still really fun and the fireworks were amazing. I will plan to brave the crowds on July 3 for MK, and maybe do Epcot or HS on the 4th for whatever special stuff they may have.
More plans to follow....and even some ADRs.... 
Gotta call member services and get some help. Just renewed my AP with the DVC renewal discount, but MDE still thinks my ticket will be expired and is not letting me snag those fast passes yet. Can you say Mine Train???
Sounds awesome!
