scooter newbie, please help

[videogal1]

Hello. This will be our first trip with a scooter, as my mom is just not able to do all the walking involved. Last trip she was in a wheelchair, but this time we will be pushing a double stroller with twins.
We will be staying at the BC. Do we need to request ground floor, letting them know about the scooter?
I know I have seen them parked outside rooms, but I have never seen them in an elevator. Is this allowed? Do you take the scooter in your room to plug in at night? I know at the values we have seen them on ground level, but the BC rooms are inside hallways, didn't think that would be ok outside in the hall, possibly blocking foot traffic. Are they allowed in the room, and possibly get something on the carpet? Totally lost here. She is able to walk with her cane, so parking it somewhere and then retrieving it is not a problem.
Also, if we decide to do a water park (she would just enjoy laying in the sun) is typhoon lagoon accessible just enough for her to get from point A to point B?
Any and all suggestions GREATLY appreciated!!!!

1. Because I always travel solo I ask someone at the front desk to have the room's hydraulic arm disconnected while I'm there. That way the door doesn't fight back and I don't have to call down to have someone let me in or out of my room. Barring that I get a room with a door that opens when you push a button...I can't remember if BC, my favorite resort, has them, though...
2. Take a power strip to plug the scooter into...Depending on how long its cord is you'll have lots more in-room parking options...not an extension cord, though.

I find the 3 wheel scooter easier to maneuver. It takes up less room and is easier to get on the bus.

Three words: Bring a doorstop. You know, the little rubber things that you stick under a door to keep it open? For under $7.00, you can prop the door open without smashing anyone entering or leaving your room. Much easier. Never go to WDW without one. Sometimes Husband isn't around, and it's essential.

Perfect idea !!!!! I too struggled but never thought of this

Thank You
