Have you ever had anything break/leak in your luggage?

Shampoo and conditioner bottles broke inside the "toiletries"/swim bag which we had checked. The bottles (plastic) were cracked completely through. Thankfully, those bottles and the other toiletries were in the zippered ends of the duffel.

The lesson I learned is not to check the piece of luggage with toiletries. I now create a carry-on with all of the meds, toiletries, etc. that remains fully packed all the time. Since you're allowed two carry-ons, my husband carries the heavy toiletries bag and the kids each have a carry-on with their swim gear and on board activities. I carry the important papers in a MK bag and a separate tote with the adults' swim gear, camera, etc. That leaves one or two suitcases to check. The upside is we always have at least swim wear and our necessities for showering, etc. in the event our luggage is waylaid.

On our trip home last Sat!!! My dd, 10, was lucky enough to have the Candy Lady in Japan make her a beautiful blue unicorn. I couldn't figure out how in the world to get it home. I found a huge coffee mug in BWV gift shop. It was big enough to fit the candy unicorn into. I wrapped tissue paper around it several times and poked a hole in the cardboard gift box for the candy stick to go thru. Place the stick/candy in gently. I thought it was a perfect fit. Put it in our bags and stuffed clothing all around the box. When we got home, all I could hear was rattling!!! When I opened it all up, 3 of the legs and the head had come off!! I was able to hot glue some of the bigger pieces back on but my poor dd was crushed. I knew she should have asked for a panda bear...no little legs etc.!!!!

Oh no, that's a real shame!

You're just have to go back to Japan again, perhaps for a panda next time round!!! I'm guessing you mean in Epcot?
