My wife is starting to talk about visiting Disney in July. Will it be ridiculously hot? Should I stop the madness? There is no other time we can go and we are itching to get there. Don't want to sp...

We wouldn't intentionally go to Disney in the Summer (more for the crowds than the heat), but if that is the only time you can go, then go. Just be aware it will be hot and it will be crowded. We generally don't go between the months of May - August. There are trees on most sites, so the camper won't be in full sun, but it will be hot in July, there's no escaping it.
I am not affected by the heat, but my wife doesn't not like it too much when it gets in the mid-to-upper 90s. Young kids don't usually fair too well when it is really hot either. The last time we went to Disney in the summer, we went for our daughters birthday at the end of June. The day before her birthday we went to Gator Land and it was hot. We were not prepared for the heat and the wife and kids were dragging. The day of her birthday we went to the Animal Kingdom. It was hotter than the day before, but we were prepared with hats and canteens with cold water. Wife and kids did much better that day.
Taking advantage of the extra magic morning hours is the way to go. Just keep in mind, the parks are busiest on the days they have extra magic evening hours. We try to stay away from the parks on the days they have extra magic evening hours.
