Around the World at Epcot - Segway Tour

[Blythep]

Where can we find reviews of the Segway tour? I thought I saw them one day on a board but can't seem to find them now.

We are taking this tour next Friday and I enjoyed reading the one review that I saw, but would like to read more. I can't wait, I think it will be so much fun!

We have to be at the Guest Relations area at 8:45 am. I understand that we will be riding these through the crowd at around 9:30 on our way to World Showcase and then ride them back around 11:00. That is the part that I worry about, is what if I hit someone?

Just search "Segway tour" by title only. You should find all you want to know...

From my understanding when I made the ressies...that the classroom work started in the World Showcase area...which is not open until 11am...so really the only people they have to worry about is the few people the enter from the Epcot resorts and I would imagine that you aren't any where near them..

The first hour is inside Innoventions. You first get your helmet, see a quick A/V presentation and then you get training on the Segway, inside Innoventions. Up til this point, there are no guests around. Then you go outside, and practice riding (slowly) up and down grades in the art garden area. There are guests around, but not many.

Bathroom break!

Then you proceed to World Showcase and there are people around, but the Segway group is going very slow and there is an instructor in front and another in back. When you get to WS, there are no guests because it hasn't opened yet.

When the group returns to Innoventions, the [ark is more crowded but again the procession goes slowly, single file with instructors both front and rear.

Don't worry about running over anyone, you go slow and by the time you leave Innoventions training, you'll be comfortable with the Segway.
