(For example, you can exchange 2020 Villains Nite ticket for ticket to 2022 Villains Nite or exchange 2020 Star Wars Nite ticket for ticket to 2022 Star Wars Nite). This needs to be done anytime through January 8, 2022. (An exchange for a 2020 Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite ticket for a ticket to the May 27, 2022, Star Wars Nite can be made, but with an additional fee equal to the difference in price of the 2020 and 2022 tickets.)
