Not announced on dates. It's only rumored because it's around due; resorts get refurbed on a somewhat predictable schedule.
There are a bunch of conferences too, though, and room blocks are taken out of inventory for those as well.
We were at Coronado this Friday night to Tuesday. It was horrible. The resort itself was beautiful and we loved our room. But the Paul Mitchell Caper Convention was filled with the most rude, self centered young people (and we've been stuck at pop with the cheerleaders once!). I actually emailed the Paul Mitchell company to let them know what an embarrassment their representatives were. We were on magical express back to MCO with them, and they had an actual screaming contest.
I would email Disney as well to let them know about the issues you had with convention center attendees.
Disney doesn't care. Conventions bring in tons of revenue. That's all they care about. People have been complaining about Pop Warner, cheerleaders, South Americans, conventioneers etc. for years and Disney has never done anything about it.
I disagree. They do care if the volume of complaints is high enough. Complaining does not take much effort and it's never a waste of time
That's why I didn't bother emailing disney. It really wasn't disney's fault about other people's behavior. I really doubt Disney would turn away the business of 1500 people because a few families complained about it.
