Disney said it’s making changes to its experiences based on guest feedback. Trying to secure a boarding group for the attraction has been a source of frustration for many, with spots filling up with seconds of opening up.

The change comes as Disney World gets ready to kick off its 50th anniversary celebration on Oct. 1.

The former FastPass+ queues at many attractions at the parks have been rebranded as Lightning Lanes.
