I just signed both DH and I up for this to take in March. It sounds like a lot of fun. There are two different tours, one is a one hour tour that teaches you to use the Segway and nothing else.
The one we are taking is the around the world tour. It's two hours, you take an hour instructional course on the Segway indoors and then you take your Segways around world showcase for an hour.
I was informed that if it was raining then we would be allowed the indoor portion and that we would be refunded half of our tour price because they can't take you outside in the rain.
I can't wait to get down to Disney now!
Hope that helps a little.

Here's more information from AllEars.Net:
Around the World at Epcot --
on a Segway!
On February 14, 2004, Epcot introduced Around the World at Epcot on a Segway, those futuristic-looking upright transportation devices on which you sometimes see Cast Members zipping around Epcot.
The tour, which lasts two hours, has been so popular that it now runs twice daily -- at 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Check in 15 minutes before the scheduled tour time at the Guest Relations lobby inside the turnstiles.
NOTE: Guests are able to arrive before the 9 a.m. opening in Future World by identifying themselves as being on the Around the World at Epcot Segway tour. There is a guest list at the turnstiles. Use the same far right queue the Princess Storybook breakfast (Norway) guests use.
The first hour of the tour teaches safety rules and allows you to practice riding the Segway, while the second hour is a tour around World Showcase before it officially opens to visitors.
Cost for the tour is $80 (park admission is NOT included).
Some restrictions apply: Minimum age is 16 (guardian must sign a waiver for ages 16 and 17), maximum weight for participants is 250 pounds, and expectant mothers and persons with special needs may not participate due to safety concerns.
A 15 percent discount will be available for AAA and Disney Vacation Club members, as well as Annual Passholders, Disney VISA cardholders, and Disney Cast Members. A photo ID will be required at the time of the tour.
To book this new tour, call (407) WDW-TOUR.
