How long does getting inside take in the morning?

Question

I'm going to AX for the first time and really want to see the Gachiakuta panel at 10am on Friday. I heard people should try to arrive in line at least 30 minutes to an hour before it starts, so I'd wanna be in line by 9am. How long do the security checks and waiting in line to get into the convention center usually take around this day/ time? My friend and I each have a bag and a big prop too, so I'm assuming we need to check those. I have no idea when I should be leaving my hotel to account for the time to shuttle, getting into the convention center and then waiting in line for the panel. Could someone let me know how much time I might need to budget?

Thanks!
