You presume to know 1) how our family will approach the Disney trip and 2) the fitness and stamina of my 7 year old. And I’m the know it all?

I didnt presume, I asked you and you answered. And I don't know the stamina of your 7 year old, like I said. I guess yours is the exception.

Most 7 year old cannot handle 8+ miles a day of walking regardless of how energetic they are. Over time, those energy levels dwindle because they just arent physically equipped to handle it. shite, I run 25+ miles a week, swim probably 5000+ yards and bike 40-100 miles a week plus and I know it's a burden on me but again..i guess you guys are the exception because you're not fat asses and are energetic.

This is the same basic understanding most people need when traveling with a kid of any age...thats my point (not to you, just in general).

Not taking a kid at 3 or younger because there is so much they can't do, the same is true for 7 years old. It only changes.

Take them at 2, take them at 7. There is no magic age...they're all great but how you do it needs to be different based on how old they are, are they in a stroller, what time of year (temps, etc), where you're staying (off-site and on-site and value or moderate vs deluxe where you can walk back whenever you want), etc.
