Can I point out that you said this:

And then you said this:

Unless you're over 50, Epcot isn't exactly exciting.

If you're afraid the other Disney parks are too kid oriented, don't be. Their parks are magical for all.

Thanks for replies all! Absolutely delighted to hear that!  ;D

The reason we were going to stop in New York is because it takes 14+ hours with a stopover to go from Ireland to Florida. After the whole wedding thing and traveling, its a bit too long to do it in 1 go.

The Amtrak thing is a good idea, but I don't think she would go for it for a honeymoon. Maybe another time, doing stopovers in each place would be great but alot of hassle.

Vanguard:
Amtrak does suck.   I took a sleeper car from Miami to North Carolina.  In the U.S. no one wants to live near a train track.   Your scenery through most developed areas consist of industrial parks or slums.

And the accommodations are cramped as mentioned.   

Also, I live about 40 minutes from Disney.   Epcot is a great place.  My wife and I enjoyed it a lot before we had kids.   Some of the best restaurants in the Orlando area are at Epcot.

Cakemeister:
When I was in NY we bought tickets for the "hop-on-hop-off" tour bus. That was fun. There are lots of great museums in NYC also. If you have the money you can go to a Broadway show. That costs $$$$$$. 

Disney is fun for adults as well as kids. If you go there, I would stay on the property and get the Fast Pass tickets.

In the US we drive on the right side of the road, so be careful if you are driving. I made my wife drive when we visited the UK because driving on the left made me nervous.

Yeah, but in the US, we don't have roundabouts. Those things messed my right the heck up when I was in the UK the first time. It didn't help that the boss handed +me+ the keys to the only stickshift car he'd rented (he goes "Well, +I'm+ definitely not driving a stick over here!")  :)

Left hand drive, left hand shift, driving on the left.

I'm still surprised I didn't get pulled over that first trip.
