Quickest way CSR to Epcot World Showcase?

[CeltSoxPats]

Hi,

Could someone please tell me the quickest way to get from CSR to Epcot World Showcase?

We will have a rental car.

Can I take a ferry/boat from DHS directly to Epcot World Showcase Entrance?(would this take too long compared to other routes)

ALSO:
What is the best route from CSR to Hoop Dee Doo Musical Review Dinner?
(Fort Wilderness) prefer to use Disney transportation.

Thanks!

It's probably going to be best just to drive to the Epcot parking lot and walk through to WS vs. going to DHS, parking there and taking the boat/walking. Yes, it's a hike back to WS from the main entrance, but I don't think it's quite as far as DHS to IG. Taking the boat from DHS would save some steps vs. walking from the Epcot main gate to WS, conceivably, but the boats aren't very fast and if there's not one loading at the dock (or at least on its way in) when you arrive, it's usually going to be faster to walk. And this all depends on where in WS you are going. If it's Canada, England, France, or Morocco, then you're close to the IG. If you're going to Mexico, China, Norway or something else, it's a long way from the IG and you're no better of than going to the main gate.

From CSR to HDDR, I would take a bus to MK and then hop the WL/FW boat from there. It drops you off at a dock just a short walk from Pioneer Hall.
