Much like the Garden Walk (see my maps for them here) that connects Universal resort hotels to CityWalk and the theme parks, there is also a walking path from the new Universal Stella Nova Resort to the entrance of the new Universal Epic Universe theme park.
Depending on how fast you walk and whether or not you have to wait for a traffic light, the walk can take about 5 minutes from where you board the bus at the hotel to where the bus drops you off at Epic. The total walk from hotel lobby entrance to park entrance is about 8-10 minutes (again, depending on if you have to wait for the light to change and how fast you walk).
I will have a VR video of the walk available on my Park Hopping in VR YouTube channel soon. (The screenshot above is from the Street View submission.)
I have also uploaded this VR video to Google Street View. If they approve it, it will be live on Google Maps soon, as well. (Currently, Google’s satellite imagery of the area is from during construction but this Street View will still work.)
Photos of the walk
If you want to see it in photo form, I have images in my Universal/SeaWorld photo gallery. They start at the bus pickup spot at the hotel. This may help you see how far the walk is from where you’d get on the bus to where the bus would drop you off:

Walk details
The walking path follows the road the bus drives on. Both walking pedestrians and the bus have to stop at the same traffic light. The hotel informed us that the walk was quicker than taking the bus, but if you get to the bus stop right when the bus is about to leave, the bus ride could be faster. From what we saw, unless you walk slow, that is really the only case when the bus is faster.
Since the bus will wait for awhile before departing, walking could also let you get to the light and cross the street before the bus even leaves, making the walk considerably faster that the bus.
I just wanted to post this now to get it in the search engines. Check back for more details.
