We did this last month and really enjoyed it. It's an amazing machine, and very easy to use. I took a little video while we stopped for a break; if you want to see it look here.

Funnily enough Shirley I got the impression from the CM I booked with they have had a bit of stick about this! He made a big point of telling us that the helmet was obligatory (which I'm sure they've always done ) but he then went on to say that "following feedback from our guests, we recommend ladies bring a hairbrush with them!"

Rob - I saw your video somewhere else and it was your video which inspired me to book as it looked like so much fun! So thank you

is it perticularly expensive to do this tour? i saw it a while back and loved the idea but havent found much info on pricing.

Hi Rhys,

It was $80 per person for a 2 hour tour. We got 15% discount as we're DVC members so in total it cost us $136 for two of us. Which at current exchange rates should be under £80 for the both of us. We thought for a "once in a lifetime" opportunity it was money well spent

Cheers

Karen

What a fantastic video, you both looked like you we're having a great time and you mastered it very quickley.

Miffy I am soooo jealous, you're in for a fab holiday.

Hey, I got the hang of it as well!

It was a lot of fun, and certainly worth a morning's 'helmet hair' for the sheer joy of getting to grips with this incredible machine.

Yes Mandy I think so - I couldn't be trusted with a Segway when innocent pedestrians were on the loose LOL

Mostly it is, but you do have to ride your Segway through open areas of the park getting to and from World Showcase. In those areas you ride in single file, but in the closed portion of WS you arer allowed to zoom around (within reason of course, this is Disney after all!).

Yikes Rob!

Health Warning then!! Anyone planning on Epcot on the morning of December the 18th may wish to re-select their park!

Thanks for clarifying Rob!

 

[mandymouse]

LOL Karen

Well I hope that they have re-built the World Showcase by the time I go in May next year, after you've been. Do you think you'll have to start with stabilisers first ?!!

Do you think you will cause as much damage as Hurricane Charley ?!!

Bring a hairbrush ?? Only a hairbrush ?? One needs one's hairdryer, one's styling comb and one's hotbrush at least!! Oh and whilst they are at it, a dressing room where one can recoif

........ oh and one other thing...... all cameras to be banned from the park whilst one is on one's Segway Tour, wearing the aforementioned helmet

I think that just about covers everything !
