Such as in Epcot, Magic Kingdom or Downtown Disney ... Guest Services perhaps?

there are a good number of places to charge your scooter find a plug and use it I do not think gust service is one such place as it is too busy there I would go to first aid if you have too

Charging a scooter in the parks should really be an emergency situation rather than the norm. If you give your battery a full charge each night you should be fine. You have to practice good habits like shut the scooter off during shows, parades, and fireworks.

If you really want to have long days in the park, I would suggest a two battery scooter. They last longer.

Topping your battery off here and there doesn't add that much juice to the battery. If you still want to do it you can find outlets near restrooms.

I get the Victory Pride and it goes all day and well into the night as well. I've never needed to do a top-up charge, and as soon as we get back to the room it goes straight onto charge. Unplugging is the last thing I do before we leave the room for the next day's activities, too. I don't think I've ever dropped more than one light - and that time it was really cold plus it was dark (11pm) so I had to put the headlight on or a little while.

Other than that, I've always been fine. For this year's hire I was discussing with the renter company's co-owner (lovely lady) about whether I could go down a size purely for the weight thing (getting it in and out of the car), but she thought I might need to take the charger with me and do a top-up charge at lunchtime, for example. Rather than having to worry about whether my battery might go down more and stress about finding somewhere to charge it (and for long enough to make a difference), I paid the $20 more for the bigger machine and the peace of mind.

We didn't see too many charging places as very accessible to scooters - the one by Rapunzel's bathrooms was very crowded and tight - not a place to leave a scooter while it charges, as it will block access to areas. EPCOT had an open area in one of the hallways by Club Cool. HS had a room by TSMM for AC and recharging. Didn't see any place available at AK. DTD is a construction mess, and it would be pretty difficult to find a safe spot to leave a scooter to recharge.

There are lots of outlets all over the park; we've used them before. Maintenance CMS are very good people to ask if there's one nearby. Flower beds are also a good place to look, as they are usually lit up at night and there are boxes in them with outlets.

You go over the fences to get to an outlet?

Thanks all - we have a "portable" one for stay at WDW that you can break down and transport in the back of a vehicle ... so just concerned about how long the batteries will last ...
