Addie has sensitivities to gluten and dairy so if you can be mindful of this when creating meals that would be good. But meats and veggies are great! If you are not able to bring meals that are gluten or dairy free, no worries. Bring what you can and Lauren said that she can make something for the little one. Once you have logged in, you will see the address and directions of how to get to the Bauer’s home.

If you would like to bring the family a meal and don’t have an ID or pass, let Donna Rogers (407) 600-5121, know and she can either drive you on, sponsor you with a pass, or meet you at the front gate's visitor center to pick up the meal for you.
