I booked the same weekend same days last year and paid $97 MDW-MCO, it was $375 this year. As in IC, how much my flight costs makes a difference in how much profit I clear on the weekend.
For high demand routes and dates, yes; but I almost always see the low fare calendar displaying one fare for the entire month. Once it's 2 months out prices start to drop.
