Call metering, switch to ground, and then don’t say anything. They know you’re there, you’re getting paid, sit back and wait. Don’t stop on the taxiway. If the alley is clogged keep going. A/A15/N2/N, and A/A6/R will get you to the runway a good portion of the time. It’s not hard, just a little chaotic. 9L/27R is actually in Wisconsin and it takes awhile to get into Illinois. Good luck!

When I use to frequent ORD a lot, the worst was landing on 27L since It would spit us out "close" to our gate. There would be no time to contact operations after landing, so I would call them in the air and say "Acey XXX, on the ground, is our gate open?" That way I could take the north entrance if offered to us as soon as we exited the runway.
Then one day, some Dwight Schrute type working operations responded with, "I'm not showing you on the ground yet, please call back after your have landed for gate status"

Don’t bother ground when metering told you to monitor. Don’t screw up a readback because you’re too cool to use a pen. Don’t stop on A/B because you can’t read the signs or because you didn’t have your chart up. ORD controllers are some of my favorite.
