Packing question -- Help!

[disneyaggie]

O.k., this has got to win the "Wackiest Packing Question" award . . .

I usually carry two cartons (10 boxes per carton) of Juicy Juice in my shoulder bag on the plane. I like to have that for breakfast during my stay at WDW. But boy is it heavy!

Since where the stored suitcases go underneath, do you think my juice boxes would explode if I put them in my checked bags? I just don't want wet, soggy juice-stained clothes when I get there. I don't think that part of the plan is pressurized so I wonder if they would pop open.

Any suggestions? If I could just pack them and check them, whew! That would be so much easier than lugging them around. Thanks!

They probably won't explode, but bags aren't handled in the most gentle of manners. Not only could they leak all over your luggage, but the luggage of others, too! If you want to check them, put them in a few layers of ziploc bags for protection, please!

I am doing the same thing only with water bottles...I wouldn't put them in checked.

The last trip, I packed 2 8pks of apple juice boxes for DS. They were still in their original shrink wrap, then I put them in Ziploc bag, and put them in my checked luggage with a lot of padding (clothes) around it. Situated it somewhere in the middle.

Got to the resort, unpacked it and nothing had moved, the boxes hadn't exploded, nothing. Didn't even swell up in size.

When my children were younger, I bought juice with me. I opened the package and put them into zip lock bags. Then I packed the zip lock bags into my suitcase which I checked in. I never had a problem with exploding, but if it did, the zip lock bag would of contained it.

As always, y'all are the best!

Ship them down beforehand.
