“The Exchange’s customers are heroes, so ‘Incredibles 2’ is a fitting choice for military families,” said Wright-Patterson Exchange General Manager Jermaine Wilson. “Much like the characters in the film, military families are stronger when they join together – that’s why we wanted to give them an opportunity to do so in the comfort of their own homes.”
The screening will be available to all authorized shoppers with a ShopMyExchange.com account for 48 hours starting at 4 p.m. Oct. 23 at the XKids Hub, though the number of viewers who can tune in at once is limited.
Families can also log onto the XKids Hub weekly for new kid-friendly activities including interactive videos, Disney-themed activity sheets, games and more. Highlights for October include special Halloween-themed activities and the Oct. 23 launch of a video series, featuring the XKids sharing their top toy picks of the season.
Online activities and live video events will continue at the XKids Hub through the end of the year: On Thanksgiving, the Exchange and Disney will offer a free online screening of “Frozen 2,” and a Disney Jr. interactive video activity night is scheduled for Dec. 12.
Families can visit ShopMyExchange.com/XKids to access everything Operation Fun has to offer, including a calendar of events. They can also follow the Exchange on http://www.facebook.com/ShopMyExchange to get all the latest on Operation Fun activities delivered straight to their timeline.
