I believe this resulted in 3 e-mails from you. You may be leading the panic.

Disney Parks Blog announcement just listed Hallowishes, so I'd assume they'll return in their original form unless we hear differently before August. I was hoping for a new show, but that budget is likely maxed out. Adding some projections shouldn't be too difficult. It would certainly help make sure the party nights don't look like a downgrade from HEA.

Well really the party night fireworks aren't a downgrade due to the perimeter launch sites (which if HEA added on special occasions that show would beat Magic, Music, Mayhem IMO.)

Plus Hallowishes has always incorporated some primitive projection effects on the castle itself.
It makes me wonder, though- how much money would it take to produce a separate projection sequence for Hallowishes to have an "Ever After" style projection routine? Surely they have the castle's surfaces mapped out by now and it's not that much more complex than just some dude at a workstation cutting in the video with some custom software.

Not much. I would bet next year. I don't think there's time for this year.

Is there, though? Again, I'm envisioning the core of the process being one dude at a workstation. If all you've got to do is copy a bunch of .mp4s from DVDs into an existing castle canvas template and synch it to music, it's not like they're editing Lawrence of Arabia here.

Well to be fair, Disneyland Forever debuted in May and when Halloween Screams came in September there were projections, can't see why there wouldn't be enough time to do the same for Hallowishes (oh wait, the first MNSSHP is in August for some reason..)

You presume they've already started work. If they haven't, I doubt there's time. Don't get me wrong though. They need to. It'll be a stark contrast without. It's simple enough to add projections. I did notice Spelltacular quietly incorporated synchrolites last year.

I'm going for my first ever MNSSHP and I'm pumped! We're going on our last day of vacation so we can end our trip with MK fireworks (a tradition). We've got costumes all set (Figment and Dreamfinder!) and I couldn't be more excited! Anyone have an tips (other than getting Jack & Sally's autograph/photo early)? We read the costume rules and we're all clear, and we were planning on spending the morning in the park, leaving and then returning for the event.

Okay, so I honestly am all cool with premium events.
But a premium on top of a premium... what the actual heck...
It reminds me of the Frassier episode where Niles and Frassier join a health spa.
They keep wanting access to the "more exclusive" area, and eventually get to what they believe is the most exclusive part of the club.
Then they see one more door and must find a way into it.
Donned in just their robes, complete with cucumber facials obscuring their vision, they make their way thru the final door...
And find themselves locked in an alley behind the spa next to the dumpsters.
This. This is what I think about an exclusive dessert party at a premium event noted for serving: free desserts.
Garbage.

At least this one doesn't impact the rest of the guests, though. I guess some people don't want to wait in line with the dirty masses to get candy?
Good grief... "The event costs $79 for adults, $47 ages 3-9, and includes reserved firework viewing and a Halloween themed dessert party. A ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is also required."
