Originally Posted By FerretAfros I believe they designed it so that anybody could pay to stay in if after the promotion ended. At the beginning of YOAMD V1.0, people were getting the chance to stay in the Pirate suite, because the MMPH wasn't finished. Once they finished the construction, the Pirate suite returned to taking reservations from the general public, which was the original intention. Now that the penthouse is empty, I believe they are allowing commoners to stay there, since that's what I heard was the plan for it when YOAMD V1.0 was still in action. So, you can use it, but it will probably cost you a small fortune and your first born child.

I don't think that they would want to keep the small army of CM's that it needs all the time, so they'll probably just use it for special VIP or other events. I wouldn't be too surprised if the Fantasmic! balcony seating returned once YOAMD is over, but I don't see that space getting used much more than that.

He thinks that since the Dream Suite was opened, the penthouse is now used mostly as a perk for employees. For what it's worth, I too hope that they restore the dream suite space into something that regular park goers can have access to after the company is done giving it away to contest winners and VIPs for overnight stays. Or expand Club 33 into that space - I do remember reading that as a rumor somewhere.
