I am not familiar with the area behind WL -- is there a path that you can take to FW?

You should! You can take the boat right from MK and then it's like a 2 minute walk. There is also a petting zoo where Cinderella's horses are kept.

Everyone should experience this classic show at least once!

Is the boat launch inside MK, if I am not using a park pass the day of HDDR then in order to take the boat over would I have to use a park pass?

The dock and boats are in front of MK, you do not need to enter MK to get on the boat to FW. There are several docks in the MK area but they are clearly marked. If you are walking out of MK the Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge dock would be directly in front of you, very much in the center of the front area.

This was already answered, but I'm doing so again.
Disney doesn't transport anyone directly into any park or out of any park in Orlando. Disney Transport will take you from a resort to the park entrance, or from park entrance to park entrance. The launches being talked about here would be considered "water buses" and are part of the normal transportation between the Bay Lake resorts and the Magic Kingdom.
The park entrance areas are all transportation hubs and for the most part, Disney Transport functions the same as airline "hub and spoke" routing, funneling rider from their origination point to a central location/destination.

Other than that overly technical explanation, it's free so don't worry.

Doug, c'mon -- it's Disney, for crying out loud! Aren't those frolicking critters supposed to sprinkle flowers in our path while birds whistle a cheery tune, and then we all skip hand-in-paw back to the house for some cleaning, darning and a big group hug???

Think "the dark woods". You know, like just before the boat goes over the falls dark woods.

You won't be drinking beer, they only serve Bud Light at HDD.

I'm actually surprised they'd serve any Annheiser-Busch products, considering that AB Adventure Parks is a direct competitor.
Kind of like how they don't have most of Turner's cable stations(Warner) or MTV network (Viacom/CBS/Paramount) offerings on the WDW cable system and how GE (now Universal's owner) doesn't sponsor anything in any Disney park, especially considering that Carousel of Progress was built for GE.
