Hi and welcome,

March isn't too bad crowd wise providing you miss Easter when it is packed, I would say May would possibly be slightly busier.

Weather-wise it's more complex neither are a bad time to go, it will certainly be hotter in May but nothing like as warm and uncomfortable as it will be from June onwards.
We went in March 2005 and I think we probably were unlucky as we had a mixture of sunny days, rainy days and much cooler days (especially in the morning)....this time of the year you cannot guarantee good weather however if it is sunny the temperatures will be ideal.

Personally I would go early May - but that is based upon our experience of the weather in March last year.

It can get busy at the parks in March during Spring Break (which is around March 10-17 this year in most places. I too would prefer May weather-wise, it can be more unpredictable in March

I've been twice at the beginning of March and once at the beginning of May. All three times the weather was excellent, and although the crowds were more in May, it was only marginal and made very little difference.
