Or what is the distance? I am worried about the tight time line for my schedule stated below:

My EE FP is 9:20 and Safari is 10:20 on a Sunday am with EMH at 8 am.

The plan was at rope drop to ride Dino, then EE, then EE with FP and then Safari with FP at 10:20.

Will I have enough time to ride EE twice?

After Safari we would like to see the 11 am Lion King show.

Will we make the 11 am show, or should we plan on the 12 pm?
 
I'd say it's a 5 - 8 minute walk. Depending on crowds and your pace. You could probably do EE a couple of times and then use your fp. Get to the safari at the beginning of your fp so that you'll have time to make it to the 11am Lion King show.
 

It might be a little tight with the lion king show, sometimes the safari takes longer if animals are not n the track. Other than that, I would say your plan is good.
 
If you use the Safari FP right at the 10:20 start time, you should be fine making it to the 11a.m. show. The only reason that you wouldn't make it, is if an animal decided to stop for a long snack on the path that the jeeps have to travel down. When that happens, you just have to wait for them to be done and move along.

You'll have more than enough time.
The walk is about 5 minutes depending on your pace.
I would think that you're actually gonna have time to kill before you can use either of your FP's.

Definitely more than 5 minutes.
(One of the longest walks possible between two DAK attractions.)
And, I have made that walk many, many times.

On the map below you'll see Safari in the upper left corner, with EE in the very far right side.

As asked before, are you rope dropping the EMH? If so, you could likely make a 10:00 FotLK show if there is one that day.

If you're arriving at 9:00 on an EMH day, and you're not eligible for EMH, it will be tight. You may not get two EE rides in. Try to use your Safari FP as soon as the grace period opens at 10:15, and you may be able to squeak into the 11:00 FotLK. It's hard to say with the Safari.
 
I don’t think you’ll have any problem making it to the Safari by 10:20, but as someone else said, you might struggle making it to FOTLK for the 11 show.

We had a similar plan President’s Day week and were in line for KS with a fastpass by 10:25, but the fastpass line took over ten minutes, and by the time we got to FOTLK it was 11:01. We asked if they were still seating and she said that the show was full.

In my experience, the 10 am show rarely fills up, but the others might fill up before people in line even get in.

It’s fine to take the chance of missing it if FOTLK is not a priority (we had seen it the day before so we’re ok with taking the risk of missing it) but I wouldn’t chance it if you will be really upset to miss the show.

If the park opens at 8 and you just want to do Dinosaur and EE twice, I think you could easily do that within 1.5 hours. I would plan on seeing FOTLK first at 10 am then doing the safari after (if your fastpass starts at 10:20). If your fastpass ends at 10:20, then I’d be in line for KS by 10 am to be sure to catch the 11 am show.
 
I think that is a 10 min walk between EE and Safari for most people.

You COULD do your EMH plan - 9:20 FP at EE - then try for 10 am FOTLK - then FP for Safari - remember that doesn't expire until 11:20.

With a 10:20 FP for Safari and then making an 11 am FOTLK show - that's just a "maybe" you'll make it plan. Depends on how full the park is and how long your Safari takes.
