Here is my photo tour of it if anyone is interested (I did the tour, then followed it for the second tour that day): <a href="http://www.mousesteps.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=36&Itemid=67" target="_blank">http://www.mousesteps.com/inde x.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=36&Itemid=67</a>

Originally Posted By smeeeko ^ ehh I think the segways would be neat.. they have folks running around on bicycles and golf carts so I don't see this being much different. The segways are quieter I would think. (quieter than the loud kids that ride through late at night through the loops or the golfcarts that are constantly beeping and whirring through). Just another option for something to do when they are at Ft Wilderness. Plus I think it's structured so that's pretty neat. =)

From what Denise described I don't think the campers will even notice it though.

The Segways don't go through the camping area that I recall, mostly backwoods areas. Denise

Originally Posted By Buzz Lite-Snack I'm sure we'll love it. The Epcot Segway tour was wonderful. We have never been over to Fort Wilderness, each of our last 4 trips to WDW going to check out the grounds @ FW has been bumped for one reason or another. When I heard about the our it was a perfect marriage - we get to go explore FT. Wilderness AND ride Segways while we are there too. We got very lucky that it was re-instated just two days before we leave. Love ALL of the pictures on your site BTW (not just the Segway tour).

Originally Posted By nbodyhome Thanks Buzz, for the nice comments. Fort Wilderness is one of my favorite places on property. Trails End has good food, I enjoy the wagon ride and the campfire program.
