No.

I've spoken at length with the Imagineer who was asked to evaluate the Segway way, way before its public unveiling. While he was impressed somewhat by the technology, and while that may get used in a Disney attraction, the Segway itself won't.

There original intention, by the way, was to rent Segways much like they do strollers. Again, he decided against this and didn't give the idea his recommendation.
