It will be less crowded in Jan. But, some attractions may be down for rehab at that time.

It is usually hot in July, but that heat is not accompanied by Florida type humidity. Actually this July was mild compared to summers in the past.

I think it is better if you go in July

The baby will be older and able to look around at things.
There will be less refurbs and longer park hours for summer.
Nighttime attractions (Fantasmic!, fireworks) will run daily

It will be hot. While it isn't humid here, the sun seems brighter to me in CA. Stay hydrated, use sunblock and focus on indoor attractions in the afternoon.
Better yet, stay close by and rest at the hotel from noon-3 pm.

My DH wants to go in july, I don´t know if in 2011 or 2012. He is afraid to travel with a baby.
When we enter the park with regular admission we can go out and return?

Yes, but unless they get finger scanners before you go, make sure they stamp your hand on your way out. They almost didn't let me back in because I didn't know I needed to get my hand stamped.
