Although it's marketed as a family hotel by travel agents who are selling the hotel to families, it's also marketed as a convention centre to those looking for a business venue. Clearly, UK travel agents are not going to market it as a convention centre to UK families nor are Disney's business agents going to market it as a family resort to business folk looking for a convention centre. The marketing is targeted at it's audience.

But even if it is primarily a family resort (and, tbh, it is) it shouldn't mean that business people can't have conferences and meetings there.

For goodness sake at what point did I say people aren’t entitled to wear suits or go to conventions. Deliberately misinterpreting what I’m saying.

Like you said I’m sure business people don’t want to be sitting around people in swimwear and Disney T-shirt’s as much as people in swimwear don’t want to sit around people in suits, yet that is the situation with this hotel which was precisely my point to begin with! It’s a mix of business people and families on holiday and for about the millionth time I said my impression of this hotel is that’s it’s trying to cater more towards business people and conventions which is why as a family I would choose to stay elsewhere.
