MANILA, PHILIPPINES — November 10, 2026 — Halloween became a magical adventure at sea for television personality Korina Sanchez and her twins, Pepe and Pilar, who celebrated the spooky season aboard the luxurious Disney Adventure cruise ship.
Instead of settling for one Halloween costume, the twins embraced several imaginative looks inspired by Marvel superheroes and fantasy characters, giving their celebration an extra dose of Disney magic.
In photographs shared by Sanchez on Instagram and featured by Bilyonaryo, Pepe transformed into Captain America, complete with his iconic shield and Thor’s powerful hammer, Mjolnir.
His twin sister Pilar embraced her superhero side as Ghost-Spider, also known as Gwen Stacy, the Marvel character featured in the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
But the superhero costumes were only part of their Halloween adventure.
The twins also appeared in wizard and witch outfits, adding another layer of fantasy to their family celebration.
The photos captured playful moments aboard Disney Adventure, including a family picture at the ship’s Disney Imagination Garden.
For Sanchez, it was a Halloween filled with costume changes, family photographs and memorable moments with her children.
Pepe Becomes Captain America — With a Surprise From Thor
Pepe’s superhero costume combined two recognizable symbols from the Marvel universe.
Dressed as Captain America, he carried the character’s famous shield while also holding Mjolnir, the enchanted hammer commonly associated with Thor.
The combination created a playful superhero look that brought together two popular Avengers characters.
Captain America’s shield is among Marvel’s most recognizable accessories, while Thor’s hammer is associated with power, courage and heroic adventures.
The costume reflected the excitement of Halloween, when children can combine their favorite characters and create their own imaginative interpretations.
For Pepe, the celebration offered the chance to step into the world of superheroes while enjoying a family holiday aboard a Disney cruise ship.
Pilar Channels Ghost-Spider in Her Marvel-Inspired Costume
Pilar also embraced the superhero theme, choosing Ghost-Spider, the alternate identity of Gwen Stacy.
The character has gained widespread popularity through Marvel’s Spider-Verse animated films.
With her distinctive superhero appearance, Ghost-Spider has become a recognizable favorite among young Marvel fans.
Pilar’s outfit complemented her brother’s Captain America look, creating a coordinated Marvel-inspired Halloween moment.
Their costumes also fit the setting of Disney Adventure, where Marvel storytelling is part of the onboard entertainment experience.
The vessel features Marvel Landing, one of seven themed areas designed around Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters.
But Halloween was not limited to superheroes for the Sanchez twins.
From Superheroes to Wizards: A Halloween Full of Costume Changes
Pepe and Pilar also appeared in wizard and witch costumes during their celebration.
The outfit changes brought a different mood to the occasion, replacing superhero adventures with magical fantasy.
Rather than committing to a single Halloween theme, the twins enjoyed several costume styles.
That variety became one of the highlights of Sanchez’s social media post.
The television host shared a collection of photographs showing the children’s different outfits and family moments aboard the cruise ship.
In her caption, Sanchez acknowledged the busy celebration before inviting followers to choose their favorite look.
The question gave audiences a chance to join in the lighthearted Halloween fun.
From Captain America’s shield and Ghost-Spider’s superhero identity to their magical costumes, Pepe and Pilar turned the holiday into an imaginative dress-up adventure.
Disney Imagination Garden Becomes the Backdrop for Their Family Photos
One of the most recognizable settings featured in Sanchez’s photographs was Disney Imagination Garden.
The themed area serves as a central gathering and entertainment space aboard Disney Adventure.
Designed to evoke the atmosphere of an enchanted storybook, the garden features lush-looking decorative landscapes, imaginative architecture and a performance stage.
It is one of seven major themed areas on the vessel.
Disney Adventure also features Toy Story Place, San Fransokyo Street, Town Square, Wayfinder Bay, Disney Discovery Reef and Marvel Landing.
Each space offers a different setting inspired by Disney’s extensive collection of characters and stories.
For families traveling with children, the variety of themed attractions provides opportunities for entertainment, character encounters, dining and photographs.
Sanchez’s Halloween snapshots demonstrate how the ship’s colorful surroundings can become part of a family’s holiday memories.
Disney Adventure Brings the Cruise Experience Closer to Filipino Families
The Disney Adventure made its maiden voyage from Singapore on March 10, 2026, marking Disney Cruise Line’s official entry into the Asian cruise market.
The ship offers three- and four-night voyages departing from Singapore.
Its arrival created another vacation option for Southeast Asian travelers interested in Disney-themed family experiences.
Unlike traditional cruise itineraries that emphasize numerous port destinations, Disney Adventure highlights onboard activities, entertainment and immersive attractions.
The vessel combines familiar Disney characters with Marvel superheroes, Pixar stories, live performances and family-oriented dining options.
For Filipino families, Singapore’s position as a regional travel hub makes the experience relatively accessible compared with Disney cruises departing from North America.
However, passengers still need to consider international airfare, cruise fares, travel documents and other holiday expenses.
Families preparing for an overseas trip may also want to review travel protection carefully.
In related coverage, WWC ONE MEDIA examined important family travel insurance rules, including coverage for children, medical emergencies and trip cancellations.
The growing availability of cruise holidays in Asia is expanding travel choices, but planning remains essential.
Halloween at Sea: Disney’s Growing Family Entertainment Appeal
Halloween is one of the occasions when Disney’s recognizable characters and imaginative worlds lend themselves naturally to costumes and themed celebrations.
Disney Cruise Line operates seasonal Halloween on the High Seas programs on selected vessels, featuring festive decorations, entertainment and opportunities for guests to wear costumes.
However, Disney Adventure was not among the ships listed in the company’s published 2026 Halloween on the High Seas lineup.
Sanchez’s photographs establish that her family celebrated Halloween aboard Disney Adventure, but they do not establish that the ship was operating an official Halloween on the High Seas themed sailing.
The distinction is important because family costume celebrations and Disney’s formal seasonal cruise programs are not necessarily the same event.
Celebrity Halloween celebrations have also attracted attention far beyond the Philippines.
In other entertainment coverage, WWC ONE MEDIA reported on Martha Stewart’s controversial Halloween costume and her later explanation of how the outfit came together.
The contrast highlights the different ways Halloween outfits can generate public interest, from cheerful family celebrations to debates over costume choices.
For Pepe and Pilar, the emphasis was firmly on childhood imagination and family fun.
Why Cruise Holidays Are Becoming a Bigger Part of Asian Travel
Disney Adventure’s launch reflects the broader development of cruise tourism in Asia.
Cruise ships offer accommodation, dining, entertainment and transportation within one holiday experience.
For families with young children, having many attractions in one location can be particularly appealing.
However, cruise holidays also come with practical considerations, including seasickness, weather conditions, schedules and the availability of onboard activities.
The concept of using cruise ships for purposes beyond traditional tourism has also gained attention.
For example, WWC ONE MEDIA reported on Singapore athletes staying aboard a cruise ship during the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
That arrangement was very different from a Disney family holiday, but it illustrates how large passenger vessels can provide accommodation and other facilities for different groups of travelers.
Disney Adventure’s focus is family entertainment, with attractions designed around characters and stories familiar to multiple generations.
For Sanchez and her twins, that setting provided a colorful backdrop for their Halloween celebration.
A Memorable Halloween for Korina Sanchez, Pepe and Pilar
For Korina Sanchez, the celebration was another opportunity to share special family moments with her children.
The photographs captured several sides of the twins’ Halloween experience, from their energetic superhero costumes to their wizard-inspired outfits.
Pepe’s Captain America appearance, complete with Thor’s hammer, offered one of the most playful combinations.
Pilar’s Ghost-Spider costume brought another beloved Marvel character into the picture.
And their wizard and witch costumes demonstrated that their Halloween adventure was about more than one favorite superhero.
The family photograph at Disney Imagination Garden tied the celebration together.
There was no need for elaborate suspense or controversy. The enjoyment came from the twins exploring different characters and making memories with their mother.
The Bigger Picture: Disney Magic Meets Filipino Family Moments
Pepe and Pilar’s Halloween celebration aboard Disney Adventure offered a glimpse into a family holiday filled with costumes, imagination and familiar Disney characters.
The twins’ multiple looks gave the occasion a playful twist, while the ship’s themed surroundings made their photographs especially colorful.
For Disney Cruise Line, the celebration also illustrates how its Singapore-based ship is becoming part of the region’s family travel landscape.
But for Sanchez, the most important moments appeared to be the memories shared with her children.
And after a busy Halloween featuring Marvel superheroes and magical costumes, the television personality left followers with one charming question:
Was Pepe’s Captain America and Thor combination the ultimate Halloween winner, did Pilar steal the show as Ghost-Spider, or were their wizard and witch costumes the most magical looks of all?
