Orlando theme parks - will I still enjoy if pregnant?

DH, DD (nearly 3yrs) and I (will be 22wks preg) are going to Florida this November. We haven't decided if we want to go to a theme park yet or if it's a waste of money? DD1 is quite tall for her age and I have looked at height restrictions at Disney and she'd be OK for quite a few of the smaller rides.

Is it worth going if I am pregnant? Are there any more animal / aquatic experiences that might be better for us? We are happy to do a day at Disney but I guess not if there's nothing to enjoy when pregnant. I went to Thorpe Park when pregnant first time (I know not quite the same!!) but there was literally nothing other than a carousel I could do on and I just spent the whole day queuing and watching others on rides. BORING.

Any tips of where to go / what to see? We fly into Orlando, could spend a day or so there then were planning to head towards the Tampa bay region although still haven't booked that so open to suggestions.

Thanks

There's the parade , getting characters autograph , plus few shows later in evening , firework display etc , which most of parks have .
Epcot also have a lot of hands on science experiences , as well as areas representing different cultures of the world .
Animal kingdom has the animals to look at , MGM is more difficult as mostly rides .
You get a lot of pleasure from seeing your daughters reaction , meeting characters etc. even if you only go for a day you will still enjoy it and be exhausted by end of day.

Mrs Minus was pregnant when we first went to Disney - once she'd got over the flight she enjoyed it (and we were two weeks in Disney accommodation, so were in the parks most days).
Parks are big though (especially Epcot, though this is probably our favourite, plenty to do with the World Showcase, and as the PP said, plenty of interactive "none-thrill" rides). And the Epcot fireworks, in my opinion, beat Magic Kingdom's also.
