We have a group of three families that want to do the waterparks for the kids in mid-April for spring break and since we are on tight budgets we want to know where the best deals are... any advice or insight?

Spring Break rates will run higher. Check the Wilderness or Mnt Olympus
for the best rates. I would recommend the Wilderness over Mnt Olympus.
Previous posters have mentioned buying stays at Glacier Canyon Lodge on ebay.
We have purchased Glacier Canyon stays from the Wilderness and also from Glacier Canyon Wyndham via Ebay. The Wyndham section is slightly more upscale. This past weekend we stayed in a 3 bedroom deluxe and a 1 bedroom deluxe at the Wyndham Glacier section. We paid less per/night per/family for both rooms combined than the cost of a standard 2 doubles room at the Wilderness.
Are the re-sells of time share blocks via e-bay legal? I just looked at the listing. Seems like a good deal, but sort of potentially problematic to me.

It is legit as far as we are aware, as it is blessed by Wyndham. The room is entered in our names as the renter. You need to make sure that the seller does things correctly. Of course whenever you purchase something you want to ensure that it is a seller with a good track record.
Try the Delton Grand Resort and Spa. Its centrally located, 5 minutes from all the attractions. Newer property, ample space. Full kitchens in these condominiums so you don't need to break the bank by going out for every meal. And they can get you a variety of event passes, waterpark passes etc. at discounted rates. They have rooms that range from one to four bedrooms. Plus peaceful nights away from the crazy big hotels...look them up on line.
