I'd go for Ellmau. Heated seats all around and wonderful for small children as the beginner slope is perfect but she can get to any of the other skiwelt area which is cruising motorways. Great for a chirpy 5 yr old I'd say! My son loved it there then.
other place is Saalbach. Bit more noisy at night, but slopes are wide open pistes aplenty.
Last place to recommend would be Kaprun. Glacier skiing and lovely pistes so she enjoys it and you can see her easily.

There are a lot of drag lifts in the places in I have been around Innsbruck, especially the less touristy places. Some resorts have these new moving bands for real beginners, but also a few small low drag lifts designed for tots.
Elsewhere on this forum I and others have said what an excellent place Seefeld is as a family resort. The smarter and more popular side is Rosshuette, with a very long blue run, fun park, a fair amount of red piste, very little black and nothing steeper. I have not had to do much waiting around there. At Rosshuette you can easily avoid the drag lifts, the cable car goes nearly to the top and there is a blue run all the way down. Several modern and easy to use chair lifts. The other side of the small and charming town is Gscwandkopf, with older lifts but still good skiing and nice huts. If you are intrested do a search on this forum for more.
On the advice on falling thread I started I did a brief review of Nordkette. It is actually fantastic, and a lot of kids were out Sunday, but not likely to be suitable for your needs for various reasons. I just mention it in case others are looking at this thread for options in Austria, or just somewhere to go if staying one night in Innsbruck.

Try the resorts of Zell am See Kaprun, where you will be able to sue the cable cars which will take you to the desired level of difficulty. Like that your daughter can hop off at the intermediary station, while you'll be already off to some easier pistes. Besides the location is absolutely beautiful
