Unfortunately, you won't typically find gifts left in your room prior to arrival. Until you actually check-in, the room can be assigned to anyone and your gifts could end up being enjoyed by another family.
The Disney Florist has some baskets pre-made, but you can also call them and they'll do something more personal. Feralpeg did a beautiful job on her baskets and I know her services will be missed. Another option is to call Disney Merchandising. You can give them an idea of what stuffed animals you want, or anything else that the parks sell. They can make arrangements to have the merchandise delivered to the resort gift shop and you can pick it up there. The nice thing is, there is no markup on the products. You'll pay whatever you would have paid in the parks. Telephone: 407-363-6200.
