MNSSHP and Fireworks

[Hopefully]

We (3 adults) are going for a week in October. We will not be attending the party, but I am trying to understand how it will affect the MK for non-participants. the party is scheduled 4 of the 7 nights we are there.
If MNSSHP starts at 7, what time does the park close for other guests? Does this rule out the possibility of Wishes on those nights? Does MNSSHP include fireworks during the party or at the end of the night? TIA

The park will close at 6pm and there will be no regular fireworks show for those not attending the party. The fireworks show will be towards the end of the night at the Halloween party.

I haven't been to the halloween party but to the christmas party and the fireworks were around 9pm at the christmas party.

Last year at MNSSHP the fireworks were a version of Fantasy in the Sky and went off around 9:00 or 9:15. The park closed at 6:00 to non-party guests and Wishes was not shown.

We will be attending the party one night of our trip, but not the other 3 or 4 nights it will be held while we are there. It stinks that our favorite park will be closing to regular guests at 6, but I'm sure another park will be open late for the extra evening hours to compensate (if you are a WDW resort guest). In addition, I'm hoping the MK will be open for the extra evening hours for at least a few of the non-party nights we are there. That's why it was so important to me to stay onsite this time (although we've never stayed offsite yet)....
