The quickest is almost always going to be to take a taxi. They are usually near the valet stand/front entrance at all hours.
In terms of the bus, the ride itself will depend on a number of factors, including whether of not you just missed a bus and how many other resorts it visits before heading to AK. The general rule of thumb is to allow 45 minutes for each bus ride, but if you really want to get to AK by opening, I would plan on being at the bus stop no later than an hour before park opening.
If you want to be safe, especially trying to get there first thing, I would allow 45 minutes. On average, I would say the trip is usually around 25-30 minutes. Unless things have changed, I believe the bus will also make a quick stop at Blizzard Beach, which adds about 5 minutes to the route.
The trip usually takes about 25 minutes, including a stop at GF but not at BB. If BB opens at 9, buses will not be stopping there until after 8.
You should allow 45 minutes to get there around a certain time, knowing that you might arrive a few minutes later. If you want to be more sure to get there by that time, allow an hour.
