Please help with lightning lane, hopping and family members

[PoohHappens]

Hello, we have a trip in a couple weeks, 50 something parents, teen and 20 something kids, 5 of us total. We plan on using lighting lane and we have hopper tickets. Here is my concern: We will prebook the days and know we need to start where we book and use the first lightening lane and then we can start booking in other parks. What happens if one or two members of our party are tired or not feeling well and decide they want to rest and catch up later in the day? If they did not tap in for that first ride I don't think there is a way to book them on future rides that day? Any suggestions on how to best handle this situation?

You’re right, it can be a little tricky.
In early December I decided not to go on Alien Swirling saucers when everyone else in my party did. So I tried to cancel my lightning lane in order to try for something else. It didn’t work so I went to a blue umbrella guest experience team member and asked for help to pick something else. He didn’t want to make the change for me because I could have tried to play the system somehow. I convinced him that was not the case, and he did then help me to change it.

I’d visit the blue Guest Experience umbrella as soon as I arrived in the park and talk to them.

If they don’t tap in to the first ride, they can wait until after the pass expires and still book another multi pass from the same tier in the same park. They just have to tap into an attraction before the tiers and hopping features are unlocked.

Keep in mind that the grace period has been extended to 119 minutes so they can even use those first scheduled passes up to two hours after they expire.
