In this discussion, I am a little concerned that people might be confusing a major upgrade (Drupal 4.7 to Drupal 5.x, Drupal 5.x to Drupal 6.x) with a minor upgrade (Drupal 5.12 to Drupal 5.14).
Is this the case?

If I am upgrading Drupal 5.9 to 5.14 do I still have to disable the modules before the upgrade?
That's what the documentation says but it's a lot of work for little gain. My procedure is :
When upgrading the core modules, do not disable nor upgrade the contributed modules you are using.
Once you have upgraded Drupal and given your site a quick test run to make sure it's still up and running, disable the contributed modules you are using, update them and re-enable them.
Go through another test run and you're done.
Should I be worried that data might get lost if I disable a module?
Hasn't happened to me, so far. Always make a backup of your data, just in case.
