I wouldn't leave a scooter in the hall. Security issues is enough a reason.
I don't know details regarding fire codes. I haven't measured hall widths. I don't know if a scooter is considered an obstruction or impedes operations. Housekeeping carts are left on the hall.
Disney tells guests not to hang bathing suites on the balcony rail. Scooters in the hall isn't specifically addressed.
It would be trivial to include scooters on the hall as prohibited.
I'm not going to fault guests who rely information given by CM
I’ve been involved in regulatory, safety and Fire Marshall survey/inspections in hospitals. There are specifics for hospitals, but I believe the basics are the same. The hall width in fire codes usually applies to the actual width of the hallway and bstructions are considered anything that intrudes more than 4 inches from the wall into the hallway.
Anything in an exit/egress hallway is considered to be stored there if it stays in the same place - I think it was for 8 hours or more. Housekeeping carts may be in a hallway, but are moved frequently as Housekeepers clean rooms and they are generally put back into a Housekeeping closet or storage area at the end of use.
At least in the hospital, if a fire alarm goes off, staff need to clear the halls; Housekeeping puts their carts away and other carts (supplies, computers, etc. ) are pushed into storage or unoccupied rooms.

To answer your question, companies make accommodations for customers with disabilities. Leaving a scooter in the hall might, to some people, be such an accommodation.
One suggestion is to ask the hotel yo remove furniture, table and chairs for example
The person with a disability who wants to leave it in the hall might consider it an accommodation, but it would interfere with safe passage for other people. That would make it not a reasonable accommodation.
That is a very good suggestion if anyone thinks there isn't adequate space in the resort room. The hallway is not a good option. It is against fire code, and very frustrating that some CMs recommend doing this. A couple of years ago there was a picture floating around from Poly (?) and the hallway was lined with ECVs making it very hard to maneuver a stroller, another mobility device or housekeeping carts.
agree. Hard to manouver for everyone, but especially for people with visual impairments who rely upon the walls as pathway guides. Usually there are not many housekeeping carts in the hallway at a time - and they are necessary to the Housekeeper’s work. Allowing ECVs, strollers or other things puts unnecessary obstructions in the way.
Besides that, there is the issue of obstructing paths in case of an actual fire or other emergency evacuation where the halls might be dark or smoke filled and people panicked if they come up against an obstacle in their path out.
