I used my DVC points to visit last year. Despite what everyone says using points for 5 nights at Newport Bay in October, paying for food each night, and buying 3 annual passes still ended up saving me a couple hundred dollars. Nothing I would consider profitable like the massive savings from staying at a DVC resort, but still not a loss. I would certainly love to go back and with how they reevaluated the points for this year a DVC conversion would certainly not be a good deal anymore. A DVC resort would be the solution and can now be done since they own the resort. The only problem would be the 6 month window to book outside your home resort. Traveling from the US we always book long in advance, nearly everything on the day they open. If we had to wait for the six month window their is a good chance we would not get good travel deals or lose money on travel because no DVC rooms are available. It's the same issue with planning for Disneyland (got lucky with 10 nights and no waitlist in 2015!), but worse since it's an international trip for Paris.
I've mentioned this before, but if they did open a resort in Paris I think it should be designated differently and be categorized with all other future international DVC resorts. The Walt Disney Company already purchases points that they then use to sell the WDW rooms on their normal site for cash. If they did a similar thing and had a portion of points at the international resorts open to DVC owners at the 11 month mark, and a portion of DVC points open at the 11 month mark for international DVC owners it would help with international travel planning and be a another nice selling perk for buying direct instead of resale. As I said I would love to have a DVC in Paris and be able to visit more often, but a 6 month travel window doesn't work for my long term planning (something DVC purchasers usually do since they opted for a long term vacation purchase).
