I found the prices for March Break (March 9-17) to be very expensive compared to the fares they had offered at Christmas time.
The key is flexibility. There are alternate airports beside Buffalo, like Rochester, Niagara Falls, Detroit, Youngstown, OH & Pittsburgh. We live in Oakville so just over 4hrs and have flown out of Pittsburgh and Youngstown before.
Found the following from Rochester for your dates. Fly into Tampa from Rochester and drive across I4 to Orlando and fly back from Orlando. Total $284rt inc taxes. Southbound trip with Delta with 1 stop and Northbound nonstop with AirTran.
