My understanding is that parties are limited to 25,000 guests. There are certain rides closed...they're usually listed on all the popular sites if you want to Google.
Yes you can still get in at 4 PM.
Expecting 25,000 people to enter all at once at 7 PM is madness.
Everything will be open from 6-7 PM. Even if they didn't let in party-goers at 4 PM, people with the party tickets and day tickets and the annual pass wouldn't be leaving the park. And it would be madness to kick them out for just one hour.

25,000 seems like more than I would've thought. Has Disney published that number publicly? Or is it an estimate?

How intriguing

For perspective, MK hosted 20,395,000 guests last year. So on an average day, it sees 55,877 guests.How intriguing
But even on a low crowd day in the MK, Main Street and the hub will feel packed when it's time for fireworks. That's how it typically feels during even the "low" crowds of MVMCP or MNSSHP.

This year, with the non-ticket-holders being moved out at 6 PM... this means they don't get to see the castle lighting at 6:15 PM!
I wonder if they'll let them stay in the hub for that and then drive them out.
I was wondering what MK was going to do with Frozen Holiday Wish with the 6PM Closing.
I could be wrong of course but I don't think 6 is a "Hard Close" so no CMs should get in the way of people wanting to see the 6:15 Lighting. If MK wanted a hard close they would just do the 8:15 I would think. Overnight Rehearsals are now planned: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2017/10/overnight-rehearsals-taking-place-at.html
The last time I was there for a party night, the CMs started pushing non-wristband guests to the exit a half-hour before the park was scheduled to close.
But apparently the new rules will let people stay on Main St until 7 pm... which negates any advantage in closing the park to day guests at 6 pm.
