Miami/Disney World/Bahamas Cruise w/6yo

Hello,
My daughter (6yo) and I will be taking a trip this summer. This is what I booked so far.

Day 1: Miami- (hotels?)
Day 2: Miami
Day 3: Miami
Day 4: Disney World- Radisson Resort Orlando
Day 5: Disney World- Radisson Resort Orlando
Day 6: Cruise- (Carnival Victory)
Day 7: Freeport, Bahamas
Day 8: Nassau, Bahamas
Day 9: Day at Sea
Day 10: arrive and Depart back to CA

My daughter is full of energy and loves to be busy busy busy, loves the beach, sight seeing, really anything. Here are my questions.

1. Ideas of hotels for Miami? Where to Stay? Activities with a 6yo?
2. For Disney World, we are just doing two full days. Is it worth it to just do two parks or the park hopper? (We have been to Disneyland multiple times, and Paris Disneyland a couple of years ago. Any other recommendations?
3. For the ports during the cruise? What would be fun with a 6yo?

It will just be the two of us and I am super excited to surprise her for her birthday. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

As far as the cruise goes, I recommend you check out Cruise Critic. On the Ports of Call board, you should be able to find out about what to do in Nassau and Freeport with a 6-year-old. There will be information about the ships excursions that Carival offers as well as private tours and DIY activities.

I have found the Ports of Call board to be an invaluable resource when planning my own activities on various cruises. (FWIW, I have been on a similar Carnival cruise with stops in Nassau and Freeport, but I was traveling with a 26-year-old, not a 6-year-old!)

thanks longhorn55. This will be her first cruise, I will def check out Cruise Critic. On my last cruise I purchased the activities once I was at the port, not through the cruise line. Would you recommend that in Freeport and Nassau? Would it be safe?

thanks,
Vanessa

Is this cruise leaving from Port Canaveral, Miami, or Fort Lauderdale?
