Answer 1 :
according to google maps, it will take between 1 hour and 48 minutes and 2 hours and 10 minutes [depending on traffic]. I don't believe there is any weekend morning rush hour, so i'd guess on the lower side of that range. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=milwaukee+wi+to+chicago+il&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=27.643082,53.4375&ie=UTF8&z=8
Answer 2 :
1 hr 47 mins
Answer 3 :
Depending on where in Chicago, and where you are going to park there, I would give yourself more than two hours
Answer 4 :
It won't be too busy on Saturday or Sunday, but the freeways into Chicago (90/94, which you'd be using) can back up suddenly anyway. I'd budget two hours, but if you're lucky, you'll do it in an a little over an hour and a half.
Answer 5 :
If you plan to party in the City, order a car service such as http://www.stretchlimochicago.com/wisconsin-specials/Milwaukee.htm Normally, it's about 2 hour drive. With today's weather up to 4 :(.
Answer 6 :
Depending on how fast you drive. I always allow an hour and a half to make room for any traffic delay that may happen. Sunday is usually a pretty good travel day and at that time you should be fine. I have found that it is always faster to go from Chicago to Milwaukee than Milwaukee to Chicago.
Answer 7 :
The early morning on the weekend is usually pretty smooth sailing. I would leave by 7 AM and you should be golden.
