Any tips for bringin treats home?

I'll be flying down to WDW and was wondering if any of you have ever brought back desserts/pastries/treats? My boyfriend isn't a big disney fan but loves that sort of thing. My thought was maybe packing some sturdy Tupperware? He won't care if they get jostled around and aren't pretty anymore, he just loves sweets. My backup plan is to just spend a crap ton of money on him in the candy store lol. Thanks for the help guys!

I bring home candy from the different World Showcase pavilians for my teens all the time.

Last time I also brought home Disney decorated prepackaged cookies - the teens said those were not good so I won't be doing that again.

I considered putting a small tupperware container in my carryon bag and bringing them home each a special cupcake (like Starring Rolls butterfinger) but never did do that.

I am thinking of bringing home the pretzel rods from Goofy's Candy Company that you choose how you want them decorated. I think those would fit nicely in my carryon.

Too, if you used tupperware or bought prepackaged snacks, you could wrap them in a beach towel and pack it in a way that they couldn't move around. : )

Thanks for the ideas! I can't wait for my boyfriend to see just how awesome disney desserts are!

I made the huge mistake of not being prepared to bring WDW treats back home on the airplane my first trip. Two snack credits per day x 4 people x 10 days adds up to a LOT of snacks to bring home.

Many places do not package your snacks if you buy them over-the-counter. I got lucky when I stocked up on fudge at the MSB because they use boxes and those papers, but if you want to bring back a cupcake from the KB at AK or RS at MGM, good luck! I still haven't figured out a way to transport those huge cupcakes well.

Airlines will generally let you bring on food without it counting against your carry-on allowance. I just put all the snacks in reusable tote along with the meals for everyone for the trip and security doesn't differentiate between a box of fudge and a sandwich meal. I didn't want to risk the chocolate melting or spoiling if my bag was lost for any length of time.

Tupperware-like containers are a good idea, but the boma cake and resort dessert containers work well in a pinch too...albeit a very noisy solution.
