...I wouldn't recommend it. The config files you copy might not work with the new versions of stuff (mine broke when I tried during the Alpha phase). If you have to, just copy the non-hidden folders in your /home, i.e. the ones with your documents but not config files.
Actually, why couldn't you use the automatic upgrade? It'll come through Update Manager soon and upgrade you without losing any of your documents.
