Of the 5 resorts listed on Disney's Meetings & Events website that Disney identifies as being "Ideal for Conventions & Other Large Events", CSR is the cheapest resort listed:

And, yes, Disney does have a website dedicated to corporate meetings and events at their parks where you can go to organise a convention at their resorts.

Yes because all families booking a summer holiday check the Disney meetings and events website.
I never suggested that Disney themselves weren’t upfront about it being a convention centre however in the UK, both on the Disney website and travel agents, virgin, Thomas Cook, Tui, etc it is definitely marketed and advertised towards families.
There would be nothing wrong with it being a convention centre if they had enough facilities to match the number of guests which my point is, at the moment they don’t seem to.
