With a seven year old boy you would so much closer to the Magic Kingdom. And the resort is a marvel. I say splurge.

Re: Re: Wilderness Lodge vs. Riverside
mighty, I thought only the Animal Kingdom Lodge had the savannah view? Does Wilderness Lodge have one, too? If they're talking about AKL, I would pay the extra, no hesitation. The Wilderness Lodge is nicer (in my opinion) and closer to MK than Riverside resort.

We've never stayed at Riverside but we stayed at Wl last year and have reservations for this Nov. We love it. IMHO it is the most bang for your buck among the deluxe resorts. Location relative to the MK is great, we've never had problems with transportation, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Just a though, check out the discount codes at mousesavers.com. We got a courtyard (pool) view for less than you've been quoted for a woods view. LOL.

WL well worth the money
My wife and I stayed at Riverside (when it was Dixie Landings) when our son was six. We enjoyed it. The following year, we stayed at WL. We LOVED it!
The boat to MK was brilliant, so much so that we used the boat and both monorail lines to get to Epcot. Everything at WL is closer in, and the ducks on the swimming pool each morning was a special treat.
Sure, we may try the AKL in the future, but we're looking forward to going back to the WL this fall!

this is a toughy for me....i grew up with Dixie Landings (Riverside) and i love it there...it's like home to me! but i stayed at WL this past June, and i really liked it there as well. but my judgement is somewhat clouded because of an experience that happened at RS in May 2000...a personal and very unique experience that probably doesn't usually happen to people there.
anyway, i've visited WL during the Thanksgiving holidays, and of course they're already decorated for Christmas. and WL really is breathtaking during the holidays! so since it'll be the holidays, my advice is that, if i were in your shoes, i'd splurge and take WL!
and just to answer your question, yes, WL is definately worth it!!
but never under-estimate RS
