Pregant or newborn at WDE?

I totally apologize, that's supposed to be WDW!
Is this remotely possible?
We have a five year old, and a three year old and we have suddenly decided to have a third baby, but we have also decided to go to WDW again next summer.

A couple of my friends have done it PG and say it is possible, depending on how you feel!
We're actually in the middle of doing both options. We went last year when I was a month pregnant. It wasn't bad there were a few rides I couldn't ride, but most of those were rides I wasn't going to ride anyways. We did have to take it a bit slower then normal, because I was really tired and napped every day. It worked out fine. I do suggest not doing the teacups and spinning them as fast as you can, not a good feeling at all.
As for newborn at Disney, we're leaving next month with our currently 4 and a half month old to go for a week. He'll be almost 6 months when we are there, but still a fairly young baby, I figure we'll go slow again, take time outs for naps, and not worry to much about it. He can go on any ride without height limits so we'll get to go on all our favorites like Pirates and Haunted Mansion.
With a 5 year old and 3 year old (or 6 and 4 next summer) you will likely be going fairly slowly anyways, so I don't think it should cause any major problems at all.

So I can carry an infant onto the slower rides, such as Peter Pan, Small World, etc?
Just my two cents, but as a pregnant woman I'm not sure I could have tolerated being outside in the Florida summer heat and humidity all day. And I live in Florida! The same goes for exposing a newborn to that. But you do have school children so I understand why summer might be one of your few travel options.

We have no other option.
Then if I had to choose between going pg and going with a newborn, I would choose to go while pg and as early as possible in the summer. Here in FL you are pretty much guaranteed triple digit temps during August, regardless of whether the rest of the country is experiencing a heat wave, or not.

my 2 cents is if you do take a newborn, bring a sling or wrap, and practice using it before hand. We took my then 15 month old and wound up using it more than the stroller, even in the August heat!!
With a bit of practice you can discreetly nurse your baby just about anywhere!
I've said I was going to make my DS a shirt that said "Oh the places I"ve nursed". Haunted Mansion. Its A Small World. Tommowland Transit Authority. Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Malestrom. the list goes on LOL!
We also brought a zip lock back with 2 colored wash clothes in it. When we first enter the park, we add some ice cubes to the bag. When any of us felt hot, we'd remove a cloth or two and wipe our faces/ back of neck (ANd the baby's feet) with it for an instant cool down!!
Whatever the situation, enjoy the parks! Just keep in mind that no doc will let a newborn under 10 days old fly anywhere unless its a medical emergency, so buy trip insurance just in case the timing isn't right.
