Just echoing the early intervention suggestions. Our pedi thought we should wait with ds (his issues were speech and fine motor) because he almost met his milestones.
I thought about it for a couple of weeks and decided not to wait. I called EI and self-referred, no need to have a doctor's referral.
The evaluation is free, but it can take a little time to schedule. I always suggest scheduling and if your kid has caught up by the time of the evaluation, no problem. You can also always decline services so it's not like you are committing to anything by scheduling the evaluation. They come to your house and do the evaluation, which was fun for my kid--they had all kinds of toys and got right down on the floor and engaged him. (This was in Virginia, the process may vary a bit by state, for example I believe CA has regional centers and doesn't come to the house?)
My ds benefitted immensely from early intervention--turned out the evaluation showed more subtle issues than the milestones alone did and he was rated at 25 percent delayed in fine motor skills, expressive language and had sensory issues. I am so glad I didn't wait like my pedi suggested.
Sorry I can't help you on the disney playground front. I would be sure to stay right with a crawler anywhere though to avoid trampling.
