Unless you get real unlucky on the escorted sections, it's probably closer to a 30 minute delay.

Map with mileage is here:
http://www.nps.gov/PWR/customcf/apps...ational%20Park
Fishing Bridge to West Thumb 21 Miles
West Thumb to Old Faithful 17 miles (you'll be crossing the Continental Divide twice on this leg
Old Faithful to Madison Junction 16 miles
Unless you get behind a herd of Buffalo (which happened to traffic going the other way on our trip), you're probably looking at a little over an hour of driving.
If you have time passing thru the Teton's, the Jenny Lake area was nice and probably a good place to have a bite to eat and take in some of the park. Futher North is the Jackson Lake/Colter Bay area that looked nice as well.
