I understand completely that sometimes it is impossible to change rooms. I was happy I was able to. I understand sometimes we get stuck, like the time I got the infamous Dumpster room at Wilderness Lodge. When I tell friends that, for example, I got a room at the end of a long hallway, they will say, "Tell them that that's unacceptable to have to walk so far!" I explain that that's how Disney designed the resort, they are well aware of it, and there is nothing to complain about.We, too, had a room very similar to the one you are describing. However in our situation they were unable to provide us with another room as the resort was completely full. Were we happy, no, but someone was going to get stuck with it and apparently we won the lottery! You should feel very fortunate that they were able to move you to another room. As far as leaving items in the room, that is on me and my family. I am sorry that you misplaced your items and hope Disney is able to find and return them to you.
But on the other hand, if one gets a "special" room that doesn't have all the amenities of a "regular" room, that's not right either. If when I went to pick up my rental car I was told, "We don't have the standard size car you are paying for, only compact, but we are going to charge you for the standard size" that wouldn't be right. And giving someone a downgraded room at the same price isn't right either.
