Thats great. We are staying at PO Riverside this go around, we are DVC owners, but are paying cash for a mod this time. Hubby is actually really excited about this. I saw you asked if staying at a deluxe spoils it, I suppose I will just have to let you know when I return. ]]

Several years ago, we booked into the BCV during Food & Wine Fest--this was during the first year BCV was open, and shortly after opening they had to "renovate" all the rooms to replace the mattresses. I have no idea what was wrong with them.
Anyway, this poor soul from DVC Member Services called me to say, we've upgraded you to a 1BR at Wilderness Lodge Villas for your weeklong stay!!! Me: Gee, we're taking this trip to enjoy the F&W Fest, which means we want to be near Epcot, therefore WL doesn't really do it for us. Poor soul gets off the phone, two phone calls later, offers me a deluxe room at the Yacht Club Resort. I check with DH, say ok. We check in to Yacht Club, yay, great, until first morning--where's the coffee maker?
Anyway, my point it is, DVC spoiled my DH for a DELUXE resort!! He totally did not enjoy Yacht Club accomodations because he was used to the coffee maker and toaster/microwave that comes standard with DVC studio! I had no problem with the YC room, it was another resort "crossed off" the list!
Since then, I have stayed at the BCV, and they are gorgeous. Can't beat the travel time to Epcot, if that is your goal, and the rooms are very pretty.

Wow that is incredible. What an upgrade! I am prepared for it to be different in a lot of ways and am ok with it. Since its just my husband and I this go around, we wanted to be more focused on the things we can't do together now that we have an almost 2 year old. We are looking forward to trying something new. Come July we are back to our DVC resorts but will enjoy this one as much as we can.

We're going from March 3rd-11th (yay!) and staying at our home resort, the AKL Villas.
Across Canada, there are many different weeks for Spring Break, ranging from the end of February to mid March. We too are in Canada, but our Spring Break is always the first full school week of March, so we're going then.
The crowds are usually quite low during our week, but good to hear that you aren't letting the crowd levels discourage you during your visit. Most of our trips are during very crowded times (ie: every Christmas and other peak crowd days) and we ALWAYS get lots done by doing morning emh and, on all days, by arriving at parks 15-20 min. before opening. We always have FP in our pockets, have a touring plan (that we created), and have never waited more than 20 min. for anything. I've read different ideas for riding (during parade times, after little ones leave at night, etc.), and while those tips are good, nothing we've found beats early arrival and getting FPs early and as often as possible.
Enjoy your trip.

I thought there were different dates for Spring Break up here. I used to think we all shared the same dates until I looked it up online and it said that it is usually based by province, with some provinces sharing the same week. We have only been during our March Break and each time it has been CRAZY busy, but we make due and enjoy ourselves immensely.
It's funny...we don't really plan our days out or anything while down there, and in most cases, we don't even really get to the parks that early. But like yourself, we like to combat the crowds by fastpassing early and often. We also try to stay clear of the park that is having morning EMH sometimes and find that by going to one of the other parks that day, the crowds seem a bit lighter. I know this probably doesn't always hold true, but it seemed to alot in our case. :shrug:
Can't wait to get out of this cold and down in that Florida sun come March!!! I hope you enjoy your Spring Break trip also! Safe travels and have a magical time!! :wave:

My dad, my sister and I are going from March 12 to March 19 and staying at Poly. My fiancee is also coming along for his first trip! So excited to show him around. We've never been during Spring Break as we usually go in June or July so I'm interested to see if the crowds are worse or better....
