Can you walk from HS to Epcot?

I'm having a look at our plans for October and one of the days we're planning on doing Epcot. Due to the EMH hours I was thinking of maybe going to HS for the 6am start if we've struggled on previous days to go on what we want due to GE and the change of FP tiers.

MDE is telling me it's a 32 minute walk... is that right/doable?!

It is certainly doable, pleasant walk too around Crescent Lake and past the Boardwalk to Epcot International Gateway. You can also catch a boat from HS to Epcot if you don't fancy the walk, which takes around 20 mins as they stop at Swan & Dolphin and Yacht & Beach Club Resorts before reaching Epcot International Gateway.

Its a fair walk especially when hot but yes its doable but you can stop at the boardwalk and have an ice cream at the 1/2 way point.

Or catch the boat

Ah, you learn something new everyday! I didn't think you could walk between any of the parks. I'll note that down then Thanks!

Yes, you can walk from HS to Epcot. You arrive at the International Gateway entrance at the 'back' of Epcot. It's a pleasant walk. I think it's doable in less than 30 minutes - Google Maps says it's 21 minutes and about a mile.

If you're going in October then the Skyliner should be up and running by then. You could take that from HS to Epcot (via CBR) if you don't fancy the walk.

The OP said they were going in October, so not in the height of summer. We've done it in April. It's only about a mile. TBH, you'll walk much further than that in the parks.

Never walked it because of the heat, however, we love the Friendship boats between the 2 Parks and the hotels en route.
