Ahead of the highly-anticipated opening of STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE, Disney Parks are introducing a bunch of new policies that should hopefully help ease pain points once crowds ascend to check out all the new offerings this year.
On Disney’s sights for this round of policy change: Smoking, Strollers, Ice, and Parking….
