Anyone bought glasses home?

while we are out there it will be our wedding anniversary. I have seen on disney inroom delivery service that you can create your own basket. I really like the look of the mickey flutes and was thinking of adding them and a couple of bits to the gift basket ( will get something fizzy at duty free to celebrate) They come in a box and would be great to use on the day and for the remainder of our holiday. Would love to bring them home but the chance of them being in one piece after the journey home is very slim.
Anyone done this?
Thanks

Over the years have come back with lots of souvenir glasses. Nornally fill it with socks or something, wrap in bubblewrap and pack between clothes

We brought a couple back last year that we bought in the gift shop. They were wrapped really well and made it home in one piece.

I used them for the second time a few weeks ago and parts of the black mickey’s came off one when washing it.

I e mailed Disney and they had another pair shipped to me within days.

Hard case or soft case OP? Hard case offers far more protection. Fill inside of glasses and light bubble wrap outside, then buy some Freezer bags, place in them with a little air and seal the bag.

Only in hand luggage. On the way home I find I don’t need as much space as on the way out so not an issue to get a Mickey wine glass or two in my bag.

I have also managed in hand luggage - I usually have a bag full of breakables on way home like Xmas decorations 😀

I've brought several mugs, but not glasses. The Disney shops will go over the top packing stuff if you tell them it's to go on a flight. That doesn't work for your glasses, but if you buy something else and they pack it, they go far enough over the top that you'll get enough packing material to pack your glasses.

We have brought countless glasses home over the years and always put them in hand luggage wrapped in towels... we are yet to arrive home with one broken!

Take a large plastic Tupperware out in your luggage. You can fill it with cosmetics on the way out (that you don't want to burst in your bag) and on the way back use it for breakables. You can stuff the gaps with dirty socks or something so it doesn't take up any extra room.

I think I got the Tupperware tip off these forums and now I always pack one!

For the hand luggage brigade, how are you getting these past security? I would of thouight that glassware in hand luggage was a massive risk?
