Of course, it's your cash, but I think a 7 yr old would be fine to see fireworks 1 night from some public place @ Contemp or BLT if you can't view from room. Plus, it's worth your 7 yr old staying up late one night to see the castle lit up with the music playing while actually in WDW.
OT--but as we are total Disney nuts, here are things my kids that age liked and remembered: meet/greets with princesses (or do it the easy way and go to Ahkerus (?) @ Norway for a meal). Also, autograph books, pin trading (take them home and put them on a corkboard with WDw photos and hang in room), and getting dressed up--no need for the $$$ makeover--the Disney store sells great princess ponytail hair things for $15.
Lastly, if you really want a great experience and memories, you could probably pay for a 3 or 4 day Disney cruise (around $2K in Oct 2015) with the $$$ you save by using RCI for DVC.
have fun! Elaine
