It feels weird that they would do a walkway instead of some sort of people mover that would feel a little more in universe.

Yeah, that path goes right through the parking lot, definitely doesn't feel immersive.

I've overlayed the image onto an overhead image of the area for a better idea of where everything lines up:
Doesn't that seem to suggest that the bridge would be at the other end of the hotel (to be "near" the current temporary construction bridge? What about a bridge here that connects to an area just to the west of the Millennium Falcon attraction? (an area where there doesn't seem to be much currently). WOuld also seem to be the shortest possible connection point between the hotel and Galaxy's Edge (which from an efficiency standpoint, would be ideal):
I also question if the area circled in the image below could be some sort of a station for a system to immersively take guests between the hotel and the park:

The bridge is the one shown in the plans that connects to the parking lot.
Item circled in that last picture is the chiller plant.

Or we could conduct a covert operation through the storm drains.

Those are parking spots for all the droids.

That pathway is very narrow. Looks like about half the width of a parking space. I don't think they could legally have a sidewalk that narrow between two roadways without more clearance. I think it's just a barrier between two different parking areas.

I don't think there should be handicapped parking spots at the Star Wars resort. Can't they heal just about every type of malady through robotic integration or through the Force? For a truly "realistic and immersive experience", they need to have wheelchair/jazzie bound people try to use the Force like Leia did to Mary Poppins their way into the hotel??

Not much chance of being totally immersed in a Star Wars experience when you hear a honk, and a rental scooter barrels past you !!

Seems like an unnecessary expense.
Moreover, they wouldn't want the guests one method of returning to their rooms during a storm to be dependent on electrical power.
That blob ends in the very middle of the back of Falcon. There is zero entry to the land there.
Also...
1. The entrance to SWR is from the DHS parking lot, not from some other road. There's a gatehouse along the way. There is a back road entrance to SWR, but hat is marked for emergency vehicles.
2. There is parking at the main entrance of SWR for seven buses. It's possible you will park in DHS parking lot and take a bus/tram to SWR, or, walk to the resort. The path marked by the site that can't be named is for pedestrian walking to and from the parking lot. The pedestrian marking doesn't continue in any way into SWL.
3. It's possible the parking for buses is what will transport you to SWL (if there is a SWL component of the experience). There doesn't seem to be much space for them to drop you off between the two ride buildings, however, plenty of space west of Falcon.

Well at this point, I think it's only been described as a bridge, right? They didn't specify the mode of transport over the bridge, whether pedestrian foot, moving sidewalk or who knows? Though, sadly, it could very well underwhelm when done.
The footprint of the resort is 76,586 square feet (7,115 sq.m.) or 1.76 acres.
Red is the building, green are elevated mounds of landscaping.

Looking out over Falcon to the SWR...
