    something different to do ...

    Hi everyone

    We would like to find a place where you can go on the "stand on ridey thingys with 2 wheels" (my daughter's words). Does anyone know of such a place in Orlando or indeed such a technically named mode of transport !!

    Segway is the name you're looking for. I think they run a tour behind the scenes in Epcot using them.

    Hi,

    It's called a Segway and they do a tour at Epcot see link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tou...orld-at-epcot/

    I think there is also a tour in Celebration.

    When we were in Orlando in March we saw Segway tours both in Celebration and Epcot - looks like lots of fun, wouldn't mind having a go.

    My friend has been on them and said they were great fun. Her son stopped too sharply, came off and had a nice load of bruises so take care. Would love to do behind the scenes at Epcot - t'is my favourite park
