The purple lights on park entry!

How long have they been doing this?

Last week was the first time I noticed it, it didn't happen every time but I thought it was a very nice little touch, as I'd get a 'welcome home' acknowledgement.

I don't remember this happening on previous trips, but we only did MNSSHP last year, no other WDW parks.

We have been getting the purple lights for a few years now. Its a bit hit and miss though.

Really? We've not really spent much time in WDW parks since 2016, I don't remember it happening then, maybe that's around when it started.

It was VERY hit and miss.

It's been there at least 18 months or so. Problem is the sound is so low you can never hear the 'welcome home'

Only seems to happen to the actual person named on the deed, other DVC passes don't seem to get it

Ah that explains why I've not seen it before, we didn't go out in 2017 and only did MNSSHP last year.

I hadn't realised it said welcome home as well, that's cute!

In the the times it has gone purple for us we have never heard the Welcome Home message. Might have to listen next we go.

We bought in 2017 and I usually get the purple light at Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Never had it at any of the other parks though!
