Don't know about Georgia, but Disney is in Florida and I do know about Florida. It is illegal in Florida to tow a trailer behind a 5th wheel.
Can't predict if you will get caught or not, but the Florida Highway Patrol will not ignore you.
Playing ignorant is not a good idea as it is well established that ignorance to the law is no excuse.
You can be stopped in Florida, fined, and have to un-hook the trailer. You will not be allowed to travel any further. So if you have money to burn, and don't mind leaving your trailer on the side of the road while you make other arrangements, go for it.
I travel all over FL for my profession, up and down the interstate usually. I frequently see a trailer being hauled behind a 5th wheel. The other day, I saw a motorhome pulling a box trailer and a small utility trailer attached to it. I, for one, would like to know the legal answer to this question in FL, as I'm interesting in doing exactly what the OP is saying.
***EDIT***
I just asked a family member of mine that is a Highway Patrol here in FL, and he confirmed that the law changed a few yew years back to allow for this. I think this answers the question!
