Need some advice on timing for arriving at AK in time for FP+?

Ok we have a 1900 Park Fare reservation at 8:25 am and have a FP+ for the Safari Ride at 10:20-11:20. We will be staying at Grand Floridian so we wont have to worry about the time it takes to get to Park Fare.
Do you think there will be enough time to eat and get to the Safari by 10:20?

You will certainly be able to get there before 11:20, which is all that matters.

Ok thanks. I was hoping we could get there by 10:20, but just so we can get there by the end of the FP. I thought we could leave Park Fare at 9:30 and then estimate an hour to take the bus to AK. We wouldn't need to see all the characters at Park Fare , we are just going mainly to enjoy the breakfast buffet.

When seated at 1900PF, ask for your check immediately.
Pay it well in advance, and you won't be left waiting at the table after your meal.

Once you board the AK bus at GF, the time to get to the AK gates will be about 15 minutes.
It can take about 15-20 minutes, give or take, to get through security check and the entrance gates and walk all the way back to Safari.

Ok thanks, we will be sure to ask for the check as soon as we get seated. I never thought about that. I know sometimes it takes a long time to get it.
