Fort Wilderness All Terain Segway Tour Needs to STAY!!!

We went on the Fort Wilderness Segway tour on Saturday. OMG!!!! It was so fun. The problem is that they don't have the budget for it so unless it picks up they are going to scratch it. They need 10ppl per tour 2 times a day. If anyone has thought about this but haven't done it you have got to book it now. You will not be disappointed. It is an adventure you will not forget. I wish I could tell everyone about it but I am starting here. I know you get a Disney Visa discount, Annual passholder discount, and DVC discount.

I wasn't even aware that they had a segway tour in Ft. Wilderness. I only know about the Epcot one. Can you tell me more about the tour? Where do they go? How much? Anything you can think of. Thanks!

Thats the sad part. They try to launch something but Disney doesn't give them the time of day for funds to advertise it and none of the cast members when you call to book a tour even tell you about it. We heard about it on our tour in Epcot and just watched to see when it came about. It starts at Ft. Wilderness and you go through your 1/2 hour safety demo and learn how to ride one. If you have ridden one at Epcot these are totally different and a lot funner to drive I think. They have these big tires on them and you can go over rough terrain like nothing. Then after you are done with that you go on a tour of Ft. Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge. They take you to the stables and tell you all about the horses and show you the all those cool things. They take you on parts of bay lake that you never get to see. Just a lot of fun things. The epcot one is more interesting as far as parks go this one is more fun and adventures. The cost is about the same as the epcot tour. I don't know for sure how much becasue it was a gift but the price is well worth it.

Sounds like a lot fun! Hope the rest of your trip was just as fun!

We'll be there in October. Do you think I should call to reserve this in advance? We are staying in the cabins so we'll be close anyway.

Yes I would highly recommend it. I sure hope it got to stay because it is really cool.
