I would probably take the monorail to the TTC then from there hop on the MK monorail. Once at the MK, take the boat or bus to FW. I would allow a good 40 min. for travel.

We stayed at FW last month. Take the monorail and then hop on a boat to FW. There is no bus from MK to FW. We found that out the hard way when we got to the dock just as a boat was pulling away, so we ran to the bus stops and there was no bus stop for FW.

The boats run about every 10-15 minutes it seemed like. When you get off at FW, you're just a short walk from HDDR. You can't miss it. We really enjoyed HDDR when we went last month.

I just answered this same question on another thread, but here's my advice again:

While you can use combinations of busses, boats and monorails to get from Epcot to the Hoo-De-Do Review, all are a bit too complicated and time consuming for my taste, so ... here's how I'd do it in two simple steps:

1. Walk out of Epcot's main gate and continue walking down to the taxicab stand, which you can easily see as you exit the park.

2. Get into a cab, and say "To the Hoop-De-Do Review please."

Enjoy.

You could also just take the bus to FW. HOWEVER, it drops you off at the front of FW and you would need to take an internal bus to the other end where HDDR is.

In any case, plan on AT LEAST an hour especially if you have luck like mine and just miss the bus and have to wait. If you take the monorail, the trip will take 75-90 minutes
5 minutes wait for monorail
10 minutes ride to TTC
10 minutes walk to other platform and wait for MK monorail
15 minutes ride to MK
15 minutes wait for boat
15 minutes boat ride (stops at WL first)
5 minutes walk to HDDR
75 minutes total

You could probably shave 15-20 minutes off if everything goes right.

The trip to "the othe end" takes maybe 10-15 minutes on a bad day. The driver doesn't stop at every stop, he calls out the stops and asks if anyone is getting off. If no one is, and no one is waiting for a bus, he keeps driving.

Bus from Epcot to FW is the easiest way. FW Epcot bus is #5. It is the one of the closest if not the closest bus stop to Epcots exit. Yes, it will drop you off at the front of FW, and yes you will have to take an internal bus to the settlement, but all three internal lines go to the settlement, so you probably won't have to wait more than a minute or so for an internal bus.

I think the monorail to boat thing is a PITA. Go up the winding ramp at Epcot, wait for monorail to TTC. At the TTC you are required to get off the monorail, go down the ramp, walk up another ramp wait for the monorail, go down the ramp at MK, walk to the Boat dock wait for a boat, stop at WL to let people embark/disembark and then finally get to the FW boat ramp.

I have been informed that taxicabs can not get to the Hoop-De-Doo Review. That's a real shame, as it remains complicated and time consuming to get to the show and back to one's resort. I'm glad I'm not going to this show during my upcoming trip.

Enjoy.

If you take a cab, I think the best thing to do is have the cab driver take you to the parking lot for Pioneer Hall. You'll find people with cars parking there to go to the show. You can join them to get the bus from there to Pioneer Hall.

It is not as difficult getting back to your resort There are usually buses that go directly to the resorts waiting right at the pioneer hall (settlement) bus stop after the shows.
