I thought it was crowded two weeks ago (for shows, not rides). I've seen people say way too overcrowded and backed-up for rides. I've seen people say rides were a walk-on. So... dunno.
But, I will say that Hocus Pocus is really popular now. The first year it debuted, the area in front of the castle was only half-full for the last two shows. Now... every show is packed, even the midnight one.
If you're doing shows, get there early. (We pick up food, inflate our pillows, and do a little picnic waiting for parades, fireworks, and shows.)
Compared to HEA, I'm now severely disappointed in Hallowishes. Probably won't make the effort to see that again until they update it. The music is just... so 80's pop. Bleh. And compared to HEA, so short.
