We are also wanting to do the Segway tour while we are there (heard it's a blast!), but can't decide whether to reserve the 8:30 or the 9:30 tour for the same reason. We would rather do the 8:30, but we are staying at the Boardwalk and usually just walk in through the back, but if we need to be upfront by 8:15am and Future World doesn't even open till 9:00am, we can't figure out if they will let us walk through (got conflicting answers from different cast members on the phone). I know they will let us walk through after Future World opens because we've done that before. I thought buses started running a 1/2 hour before park opening, but even that wouldn't get us there in time. Plus, I don't think there is a bus from Boardwalk to Epcot anyway, so we'd have to take one to DTD or the TTC first, so we'd have to leave way early anyway, which seems silly when we could walk it in 15 minutes. Anybody else had these problems? Please help!
