Yes, it's hot, but still fun if you plan ahead and do things a certain way.

-Wake up early and be at the front gates of the park before they even open.   If you are staying in a Disney hotel (or certain affiliated hotels) you can enter the parks 1/2 hour before opening time, which is helpful.   Stay at the park until around lunch time.

-lunch at an indoor restaurant (not the counter service) or go back to your hotel for lunch.   Consider this your main meal of the day.   Then spend the afternoon at your hotel pool, resting in your room, or in an air conditioned part of your resort.  There will probably be a thunderstorm in the mid-late afternoon.

-Around 5 pm or so, have a light dinner at your resort, or early dinner at a table service restaurant.  Then go back to the park until closing time.   On most Mondays (Epcot) and Wednesdays (Magic Kingdom) the parks stay open an additional 2 hours exclusively for those staying in Disney Deluxe resorts (and a few affiliates).  Here are more details https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/extended-evening/

A few other random tidbits:
-Most Disney ride lines are actually indoors or under shade, so while it's super hot outside, you're not just standing in the blazing sun. (If you are watching a parade or other outdoor show, you will be standing in the blazing sun)

-I recommend "moisture wicking" (running/athletic clothes) vs. "breathable" (cotton/linen) clothes.

-If you are outside when it rains, or even shortly after, your feet will get soaking wet.  If you have athletic sandals that you are comfortable walking miles in, those are probably the most practical footwear.   Make sure they are comfortable enough to wear for miles of walking--you will likely walk at least 8-10 miles per day.
