My wife gets motion sick and even did so watching some of the first-person POV videos of the rides and my 5 year old isn't a big risk-taker.
My only other trip to Disney was 13 years ago with a long term girlfriend who was a thrill-rider so this'll be a new experience. I'm guessing lots of people watching and landscape admiring.

Your wife will definitely need to skip Star Tours if she gets motion sick. The whole seating area shakes and bounces. I've been on barf-filled 'tours'. Likewise the 7 Ds ride. It is short duration, but swings around a lot.
EPCOT--If by 'The Seas' you mean the Finding Nemo ride, you don't need a FP for that. You can walk on, easy. You will need a FP for Soarin' which isn't really a motion issue, IMO.
Also, between 3 and 5PM you WILL be in a thunderstorm. Guaranteed. Every day. Plan to take in a show like the LION KING or NEMO for that time of day when you are in the Animal Kingdom.
The new parade in the MK is really solid--Frozen characters, Brave float is terrific, all the traditional ones and a fire breathing dragon that I can't remember my daughter's explanation of. But it is great.
