USF and IOA have TONS of stuff to keep a 7-year old deliriously happy!
At USF:
Nickelodeon Tour. A fun game show in which kids always win against the parents and one lucky kid gets slimed.
Curious George Goes To Town. An absolutely soaking play town. Kids love it. And behind the water attraction is the Ball Factory where kids (and grown ups who act like kids) shoot foam balls at each other.
Feivel's Playland. Based on the adventures of another mouse.
Animal Actors Stage. Disney has the equivalent but if you liked that show, you'll like this one.
A Day in the Park with Barney. Fun but your 7-year-old is probably too sophisticated for this.
Hanna-Barbera. A simulator ride with a cartoon theme.
At IOA:
Seuss Landing. Absolutely fabulous and the Cat in the Hat ride puts the Fantasyland dark rides to shame IMHO.
Pteranodon Flyers. A "thrill" ride where the height restrictions work in the kids' favor. No tall people allowed (unless accompanied by a kid).
Triceratops Encounter. if your child is a dino-freak, here she'll get a chance to pet a "real, live" triceratops.
The Confisco Character Lunch. Beetle Bailey, Olive Oyl, Betty Boop and others. And Spiderman talks!
And that's just for starters. I'm sure others will add things I've forgotten.K
