I think that the OP said that he had already booked his sites. I would suggest that you might want to go shopping at the mall at the base of the gondola,eat lunch at the top of the gondola and if it's open take the chair lift up from there and ride the zipline down. There are several other things there that would b entertaining to an 8 y/o also. Horse back riding,swimming in the lake,boat rides,etc. But then I'm assuming that this is a summer trip.
Have fun and we may be heading there in September to visit relatives.Last time we were there,we stayed at the KOA with a 35' TT and the Excursion and it was really a serious PIA getting around the campground and into and out of the campsite. Had some other problems also,enuff of them to say stay away from that place. It's the only KOA,except for West Sacremento also,that I'd say that about.
