Disneyland Paris, yes. Grand Californian, no.

Any resale purchase (besides Riviera ) can still trade into a stay at VGC the same they would the WDW DVC resorts.

I can recall reading on the forums that the reason you see 160 point contracts was because of a "buy 150, get 10 points free" sales promotion.

160 was the minimum number of points new members needed to purchase at one time. It's also why you see a lot of 230-point OKW contracts.

Imagine if that was still the case...... $45k to get into DVC for a new member, I wonder how many contracts they would be selling today.

Minimum is currently 125 points. However, one effect would be a few less complaints about studio availability

Maybe. Maybe not. Do you think the people who bought small contracts at BWV or BCV just to get a studio for F&W bought those contracts directly from DVC? They most likely purchased them on the resale market from owners who had bought small direct add on contracts. That's still going to happen, even with RIV and its resale restrictions.

I meant the minimum for a DIRECT purchase. I guess I should have been more clear but I was responding to the prior 230 and 160 minimums so I figured that assumed. You can always buy any size contract via resale.
