We also learned a lesson on the way home last year~ we hadn't allowed for enough room to pack some of the kids toys that we bought during our visit so we had to carry them on- big no no when you're talking about pirate swords & guns!!
I'll never forget the look on my mother in law's face when all of the security people rushed to her to examine the bags & xray screen!! Luckily everyone was very understanding & they even let us keep the toys (we had to promise to leave them in the bag during the flight though!)
