We love the WL and have stayed there the last 2 Novembers (value season) and have been unable to get the DC discount after multiple calls. They always seem to have discounts for the other deluxe hotels, but they are few and far between at the Lodge!
I just need to add, I think there are too few DC discounts available. They keep reducing value season and the number of discounts to the point where you need to call at least 9 months in advance to get a discount at many of the hotels in the off season. The uninitiated who think the DC guarantees a discount must get very frustrated.
