Pretty much the entire month of March is "Spring Break" for someone. Easter is March 23 next year so you can count on that week being particularly busy.
"Spring Break" weeks actually can run from beginning of March through third week of April. However, the extremely crowded spring break weeks are traditionally the week immediately before Easter and the week that begins with Easter -- though schools vary nationwide, majority still have one of those two weeks as their spring break week. Those two weeks are usually two of the three most crowded weeks of the year (Christmas is the other). The other spring weeks are crowded but more doable.
We like to go to WDW during spring break, but next year ours coincides with the week after Easter. Usually, the week isn't crazy, crowdwise. So, if that first week of March was more like we usually have crowdwise, yes, I think (hope, fingers crossed) it will be good for you!
Disney "seasons" are a good indicator of when the parks will be busy. 2008 peak runs February 14 - March 29 You may get a slight "lull" the first week of March but there are still plenty of colleges on spring break and snowbirds in the area.
First week of March is usually crowded but not bad. What you are likely to find that week are a lot of visitors from Canada because that is usually a key school break week there.
With Easter being so early, a lot of schools (here in NJ at least) are not having their spring break until later in ! pril, so I think he crowds will not be as bad this year because it will be more "spread out"

I am SO hoping you're right! I usually avoid the time right around Easter at all costs. But next year, my 50th birthday is the week before Easter and I want to spend it with Cinderella! We're spending the points for the high season week and going anyway, just hoping for the best.
Crowds or not, we're going during spring break in 2008. DS's high school band is marching on March 13th, so we wouldn't miss it for the world. DH & I are flying in on the 10th and staying thru the 14th at AKV...got a concierge studio...woohoo! DS didn't want us to chaperone...darn the luck. (muuuuwaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa)
