I agree Amtrak's Auto Train is a fantastic experiece. I had done it twice - from Lorton to Sanford - and can supplement:
- the scenery S of Lorton is fantastic;
- meals are complimentary on board;
- after dinner, they have games and (as I recall) a movie:
Offloading vehicles is quick and easy.
Overall, it is a cost - effective way for a family to get to/from FL theme parks.
