As a lifelong Floridian farmboy and contractor, I find all this talk about heat in July to be silly. You're all a bunch of sissies :B
Seriously though, no need for me to comment further about the heat. We don't particularly enjoy camping in the summer time. But if its the only time you can get out, then go for it! Fort Wilderness is as good as it gets in terms of activity packed, convenient, luxury camping. As others have said, go early, come back to relax, and go back to close it down. However, be advised that 3 or 4 PM can be hotter than any other part of the day during the summer.
One tip that we haven't personally tried yet (but told to us by some friends that camp their often) is to book a LONG stay. Apparently their rates are lower the longer you're there. After you book a month long stay, wait a few days and call down there to reduce your reservation to just the days you actually want. According to our friends, they'll let you keep the lower daily rate.
