...if you don't mind me asking, how much is that segway tour?? (we ARE talking about those 2-wheeled vehicles that never lose their balance, right??) A special 2-hour
Extreme Makeovers - Home Edition was filmed here about 2 weeks ago (My DH volunteered his time
) and Michael Maloney was riding one of those up and down the street; my DH thought that they were sooo cool. It would be a real treat to rent one for him to try...
Kimmar they have 2 segway experiences. I am going to book the 2 hour experience as that is the one most everyone has reccomended. I know my sister and I will really enjoy it so I'm hoping my mom will like it as well. Here are the details on them from All Ears:
Simply Segway
Epcot
A one-hour beginner class on using the Segway Human Transporter, called Simply Segway, began May 1. The class includes some training and mostly indoor riding -- there may be some limited riding time. The Simply Segway experience is offered daily Wednesday - Monday (not available on Tuesdays) at various times and can accommodate up to 10 participants. The experience is
$30 per person -- discounts are available for Disney Vacation Club members, as well as Disney Visa cardholders and Annual Passholders. You must be at least 16 years old and weigh 100 lbs. to participate. Maximum weight for participants is 250 pounds, and expectant mothers and persons with special needs may not participate due to safety concerns. Arrive at Epcot Guest Relations at least 15 minutes before tour start time (theme park admission is NOT included in tour price). For more information and reservations call 407-WDW-TOUR (939-8687) or inquire at Epcot Guest Relations.
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 THREE TIMES daily -- at 8:30, 9 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.
(I know how hard it is to hear of everyone else going to AKL within the next few days - the excitement is almost unbearable! 
)
I made so many changes and additions that towards the end I said "Don, this is my last change." He said "Promises Promises.
( 
I was in HIGH SCHOOL.....yup, I'm ANCIENT!)
As far as worry about not have ADR for one night. The very first time DH and myself went to WDW was in 2004. We spent the first night at POP because we didn't want to spend big $ at a deluxe becasue our flight didn't get us in until 5:00 PM. By the time we got our bags, car and shopping stop it was 7:30 PM to check-in. We had the BEST dinner right at POP. In fact it is one of my best memories. I had the Mom's dinner special. WOW it was good. In fact we have been talking about going there for a lunch or dinner on our upcoming Christmas trip. Your at Disney! I hope you have a wonderful trip. oh, yes, please bring back some Zebra Dome for us!!!
Not having much luck.
