Early DVC ad circa 1992

Saw this earlier and thought it may be appreciated here.

Love the ad copy that mentions including park tickets, personalized planning, etc. Fast forward a quarter century, and now you can buy into the latest resort for $188 a point, no tickets, online planning, and if you plan to sell your purchase down the road, your buyer can't use any other resorts with those points.

We loved those park tickets!

Initial buy-in $12535 (that may have been 250 points or so)

Adjusted for inflation would be $22584 (which only gets you 125 Riviera points today)

I think the initial minimum was 260 points. I know it was well over 200 points.

I’m not sure what the minimum was but it was way less than 260 points. We bought 210 points in 1994; I believe the price per point was $61. We really took advantage of those free park passes while they were available.

I believe that initial minimum was 230 points.

Minimum buy in was 230 points in 1992, when I purchased. That ad must've been from a little later in the year, after a price increase. $12,535 at 230 is $54.50 per point.

Sorry for my incorrect post. I never can remember exactly what the minimum was in 1997, only that it was over 200 points. We bought more than that (300).

The minimum number of points when we purchased was 230.
