The light is owned by Disney IT and works as well as Disney IT...
My husband and I each have our contracts and only my band lights up purple.
Your wife would need to have her own DVC login and MDE and have them linked. My wife and I both get it (working at every park so far this trip).I get Purple at every park all the time.... some of the tap things even say welcome home in a computerized voice. I am pretty sure it has to so with who the head person combined with your name on the contract as my wife never gets the welcome home. could also be another perk only for those who bought direct
I am an associate member and my MDE & DVC accounts are linked and I DO get the special DVC color scheme at the entrance touch points.AFAIK, the purple light is triggered by an MDE account that is linked to an active DVC account. I do not THINK the system distinguished between owners and associates - just whether it's an actively linked account. DW for example will only log into MDE, so doesn't get purple. But she is an associate, and I think if she registered her account in DVC it might work? But I am guessing here.
I will say in my last few visits since the pandemic I have gotten the purple light more consistently.
Been trying to get my son's MDE account linked to my DVC (he's an associate), but when I try to enter the DVC account info into his MDE profile, it says it's an invalid sign in. How did you link MDE and DVC as an associate member?I am an associate member and my MDE & DVC accounts are linked and I DO get the special DVC color scheme at the entrance touch points.

The same thing happened to my pal, who's an associate on my membership. She had to call member services to get it straightened out.
Note that I tried to call member services to get it straightened out, but they needed to talk to my friend, not me, since it was dealing with her specific account.
They were able to fix it no problem! She got consistent purple every time after that.
By the way, I got everything worked out. Was able to get both associates' member numbers and activation codes via chat in about 5 minutes. Everyone is set up with their own logins.Thanks! It really makes no sense to me that associates can be added to MDE, as they're not entitled to any discounts, etc. that would affect MDE in any way, but if we can get that sweet sweet purple light...
