Please, please, please hope they are expanding using actual incremental planes and crews and not the disastrous "lets stretch the existing plane schedule" of 2013-2014.

I'm still not over those years...

One new market will begin in the July Base. For the first time, nonstop Saturday-only service will connect Long Beach, Calif. (LGB) with Orlando (MCO). Southwest will be the first carrier to serve the market nonstop. This route might be particularly interesting for Disney fans, who could try to do a cross-country park hop in one day!

As a Floridian, I can see a lot of the diehard Disney fans taking advantage of this including at least 5 of my cousins.

Probably the max 7, a mid flight fueling stop while in the air seems feasible right?

Fun fact, several years ago I was on a WN flight at cruising altitude and the pilot announced that we'd be passing a mid air refueling operation in the next few minutes. It was quite visible from my seat.
