Segway Tour

[tebi73]

I know this has probably been answered before, but I never can get the search function to work right.

For anyone that has done the Segway Tours -

1. Are they worth the $$
2. Which one is better - the EPCOT one or the Wilderness one?

All my husband keeps talking about is the Segway, so I am thinking of scheduling a tour for him for a present when we go for our Anniversary at Thanksgiving. Keep in mind that he is very outdoorsy, but he's also a computer geek Thanks in advance for any help!

Did the World Showcase Segway Tour over a year ago. It was superb! Great fun. We had really good instructors who took time with everyone and stayed with us as we left the bldg and headed to the WS. We got to hear some interesting facts about some of the countries and their contributions.

In Dec we are doing the tour at WL. I'm sure it will be great fun also.

The classes are limited so call early to book. If you have AAA or Disney VISA you get a discount price. Enjoy!

My DH and brother did the Epcot one and LOVED it! I know they both would like to do it again on our next trip.

DH & I have done both and loved them! I'd start with Epcot if you've never done it before, that one is more of a learning how one! And going through the World Showcase is awesome!

I would have to agre with everyone here! I did the Epcot one last year and had the best time. I would do it again in a heartbeat!! Highly recommended. You will not regret it one bit. Enjoy!!

Worth every penny! We have only done the Epcot one, and will be doing the Fort Wilderness one on our next trip. From what I have read, there is more initial training and gaining familiarity with the machine before the tour on the Epcot Tour, so I would recommend doing that one first if you have never ridden a Segway before.

We took the earlier tour at Epcot because then you get to ride around before anyone is allowed into that area. So you get to see the workers buzzing around tending to details--stuff you normally don't get to see! And you can move more freely, rather than having to stay in a straight line as they require in the later tour when World Showcase is open to the public.

We did teh Epcot one a few weeks ago. It was awesome. I can't wait to do the other'n.

Yes it is worth it. I've been on both the Epcot and Wilderness Trail one. Loved Epcot, did not like the Wilderness trail one at all.

I'm so glad to hear all these good reports. I'm thinking of giving this to DH for his b-day. We did the demo at epcot last year, and he's been in love ever since

Have been on the EPCOT Segway tour and loved it. Make sure you take your camera, as they will take a picture of you using your camera. Haven't done the other tour yet, maybe next trip.

My wife and I renewed our vows a couple of years ago at WDW, and on one day we took the EPCOT segway tour. It was tremendous. Better than I expected. You basically have the entire World Showcase to yourself, and as your cruise about your guide gives you insight into so many things. It was REALLY cool.

Does anyone know if the wilderness tour is the same trail that they use for the horseback ride?

The Epcot segway tour is very worth the money. You get to zoom around in the WS before it's open so there's plenty of space to blast around, and there's a great photo op with SE in the background that they stop everyone for (so don't forget your camera)

I have to say that the Segway Tour at Epcot is BY FAR the best WDW experience I've had in over twenty trips.

Very worth the money.

A hint: Do the last tour of the morning. We did and it was great because WS was starting to open up so we were there, on the Segways with the carts out and the people CMs around at the stores/attractions.

Thank you to everyone for all of your quick and informative responses! I think I will most likely go with the EPCOT one. I'm gonna try to call & book it in the morning!

Enjoy it! We surprised my dad with the tour for his birthday and managed not to tell him until we were checking in. He still tells everyone about it and wants to do it again. It was absolutely worth the money and I think you'll love it!

How much does this tour cost?

 

[skipperkim]

Other than the room, this is the first thing I booked for my trip. I've done it before with my oldest DS. I'm sure DBF will love it. He'll be doing the Segway Around the World in his Beer Around the World tshirt.

How much does this tour cost?

$95/person

We loved both, but I enjoyed the Epcot one better, but My DH liked the Wilderness one better!!! Very worth the money- ask for any discounts. we are DVC member and got a good discount on both tours!!!
