We did the "Around the World at Epcot" segway tour last Saturday. We had our training with Peg who was also great.
Elton led us around world showcase on our Segways and was a fabulous tour guide. He seemed genuinely interested in talking to us, and really loved his job.
This was one of the best experiences we've ever had at WDW!

So sorry, I don't. He took pictures of us, but we didn't get one of him. He did tell us that he had been one of te dream prize givers, and that he was on the Year of a Million Dreams commercials if that helps.

Hmm...I'll have to see if I can find a pic of the guide we had to see if it's Elton.

ETA: After looking through my photos, I sadly have no photos of our guide to share.

Elton made my YoaMD's dream come true! Here he is with me & my family after I dried up the water-works.

I would have to say that Elton is the epitome of what a Disney CM should be. Is he at Epcot Guest Relations nowadays??? I'd love to stop by & see him next time I'm there. :wave:

Th Elton 2nd from the right with the big beaming smile was a Dream Squad member, extremely enthusiastic in his job duties, & was in more than 1 YoaMD's advertisement. Thought that had to be him. :shrug:

Elton Rocks!

We first met Elton in 2007 as he was working the front gate at Epcot and saw him again in 2008 as a member of the Dream Team (also at Epcot). In 2009 we caught him passing through the main gate area and I think we freaked him out a little bit by remembering who he is... With this year's vacation it didn't seem quite right without seeing Elton, but we're glad to hear he's doing well!

Elton-Guest Relations (WDW Epcot)

We just got back from WDW...went over July 4th Week...Elton randomly picked our family out of the masses to give a quick VIP Tour thru Epcot.

Elton is Absolutely Amazing...A Total Rock Star in our Family's eyes and is one of the biggest reasons we will NEVER forget our WDW Family Vaca!!
Thanks Elton!!

Elton gave my family our greatest WDW moment.

After a flock of pigeons startled my daughter, Elton came over to make sure she was alright. We had a friendly conversation during which Elton mentioned her "prize". When this happened we had been walking away from the newly-opened Soarin' after discovering there were no fast passes left and realizing we did not have enough time left in the day to wait in line to visit the attraction - the only WDW attraction we had not experienced. For her "prize", she asked for fast passes to Soarin'. Elton said he could do better than that, and off we went, my two children and I exchanging excited looks.

After traveling down several deserted corridors Elton opened a last door and there we were at the head of the Soarin' line. Elton had a brief conversation with the attendant and we were then escorted to the "best seat in the house" as Elton joined us for a ride we will always remember. To this day the subject of Walt Disney World can barely come up without a mention of Elton. He is the best.

What time was your tour? I just booked this for my husband and I to do when we go down to WDW next month. We have the 8:30 AM tour. I am so excited! I think this tour will be a highlight of our trip.

Elton is still just amazing as always! Got to say a quick thank you a few weeks ago, we first met him in 2007 and several more times through 2009. Always a joy to talk to, and one of those people you never forget, glad I got to say thank you again so many years later.

Is Elton still at Epcot?
Yes. He said that he was still at Epcot. He does VIP tours and when we ran into him he was doing one at AK. I just happened to see him and had to say hello. The last time we had spoken to him was in 2009 so very good to have a brief chat and see his smiling face again!
