But you can't walk to any of the theme parks from that resort. There are no sidewalks, and walking in the street is not recommended at all (as many people drive like complete idiots).

Unfortunately, no, its not possible to walk from the Caribbean Beach Resort to Epcot. We often drive to Walt Disney World and always struggle with this same question: To Drive or Not to Drive!
No walk can give you the bird's-eye view you will experience while traveling with the Disney Skyliner, so I am happy to share that although it is not possible to walk from Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney's Hollywood Studios, both destinations are conveniently connected by this state-of-the-art gondola system.
If you've never walked along Disney's BoardWalk before, you are in for a treat. EPCOT's International Gateway entrance is just a five to ten-minute walk to Disney's Boardwalk. Along the BoardWalk, you'll find shops, dining, classic arcade games, and Surrey bikes for rent.
Disney's Yacht & Beach Club: 0.3 miles from Epcot (10 minutes); 1.2 from Hollywood Studios (20-25 minutes) Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, & Swan Reserve: 0.5 miles from Epcot (10-15 minutes); 0.8 miles from Hollywood Studios (15-20 minutes)
Plus, the Disney Skyliner station at International Gateway at EPCOT is conveniently located just a short stroll away from Disney's BoardWalk entertainment district, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort and Disney's BoardWalk Inn.
Once you are on Disney Property, transportation is complimentary on buses, monorails, boats, and of course the Disney Skyliner. If staying on property, feel free to hop on transportation and make any needed transfers to get to a resort on the Skyliner route to start your adventure.
In general, you can expect the Skyliner to begin running about an hour before EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios open, and to stop running about an hour after those parks close, but there is significant variability in this.

However, EPCOT is unique in that it has two entrances – one at the front of the park, and the other in the back at the International Gateway. Therefore, you'll also need to determine which entrance you'll use, as it will dictate where you begin your park touring for the day.
Unfortunately no, you cannot take the Disney Skyliner directly to the monorail that would then transport you to the Magic Kingdom Park and surrounding resorts. Before Disney started the theme park reservation system, you could have done something close to what you suggest, assuming you had a park hopper ticket.
Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT are two of my favorite parks. I actually like to explore both parks in one day and them being so close together makes this especially easy. I think you'll be happy to know that you can still absolutely walk from Disney's Hollywood Studios over to EPCOT or vice versa if you prefer.
Yes, you can hop on board the Skyliner at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort (the central Skyliner hub with Skyliner routes going to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios from this hub) and fly to Disney's Riviera Resort.
The Friendship Boats also stop at Disney's BoardWalk Resort, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Villas and the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. The boat will drop you and other guests off at the International Gateway at Epcot, which is considered the back entrance of the park.
If you are able to walk past all of the tempting pavilions, (what willpower!) your trip around World Showcase is about 1.3 miles. Sooo, considering the fact that you may have strollers and other obstacles in your way, I would allow 30 minutes just to be safe.
