Hola, Loretta! Welcome to planDisney!
What a fantastic summer you have planned aboard the Disney Dream sailing the Mediterranean. I can’t wait for you to experience the beauty and history at each port of call. I sailed out of Barcelona twice, and I think the best option is to take a
debarkation Disney Port Adventure. You spend the afternoon
touring the city, and then they drop you off at the airport. It can’t get more convenient than that! These excursions can only be booked once you’re on the ship.
Another option is to search online for luggage storage in Barcelona. It looks like there are a few different companies that offer this service. You can take a taxi to drop off your luggage and then venture out to explore on foot. I highly recommend checking out the vibrant Las Ramblas area. It's centrally located, bustling with activity, and conveniently serviced by several hop-on-hop-off buses that make stops along the way.
Keep in mind that if you plan to visit any churches, you need to cover your shoulders and knees. You can wear shorts that reach below the knee and tank tops, as long as you bring a sweater or scarf to cover up with. I ended up packing zip-off pants for my husband and son. They were lightweight, covered their knees, and kept them cool in the hot Mediterranean sun.
Have a fantastic time exploring Barcelona, Loretta! If you have any additional questions before you set sail, please feel free to stop by planDisney again. It’s our greatest pleasure to help Guests plan unforgettable family vacations.
SEAS the adventure!
