We are going to take the KTTKT and Segway Tour at Epcot. What about sormy rainy weather? We are going from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2 I know it can be really stormy, we were in the Sept. MNSSHP Deluge of 07'. That being said, what experiences do you guys have with these Tours and bad weather? Do they cancel, delay....????
Thanks:goodvibes
 
Last December we were signed up for the Fort Wilderness Segway tour. The morning of our tour there was a tornado watch! I called to ask if our tour had been cancelled and was told it was still on and that we would receive a 50% refund if we couldn't complete the full tour. I asked if I could reschedule for a different day but they won't reschedule, they can only cancel and rebook and you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance or you lose your money.

We headed over to Fort Wilderness. They did a short training session in the BBQ pavilion and then issued everyone a poncho and took us out in the rain for about 5-10 minutes so we could experience the off-road Segways on something other than concrete. It was really pouring at that point so we couldn't stay out very long and got thoroughly soaked from the knees down, but we still had fun!

The entire session lasted about 45 minutes. To my surprise, we actually received a full refund. We signed up for another Segway tour (that took place last week) and this time, just before the 48-hour mark, I checked the weather forecast so that I could cancel and rebook if necessary.

I don't know if I should book 2 tours and then choose a couple days out which one to keep depending on the forecast. That seems like double booking adr's, moral dilema or is this ok to do. I would be afraid of being shut out if we had to cancel because of weather and not be able to rebook because they are full.
Any other experiences out there?:)
 
The Epcot one is different than the off road one. The Segways at Epcot cannot tolerate rain of any kind. They cut one of ours short after just a few sprinkles.
