A disk has multiple speeds - at it's perfect center it's standing still (as you approach the center the speed gets smaller and smaller as you approach 0) At the outer rim (where our star Sol and it's attending planets) are rotating around the galaxy center at about 500,000 mph, ~0.0007% of the speed of light.

220-240 million years.... Imagine how insignificant we really are. The last time our solar system was at the point were at now, dinosaurs just started roaming the earth. Our solar system orbits at 600,000 miles per hour

That depends on the speed, obviously. I'll assume you travel straight out from the center. We are about 30,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, the radius of our Milky Way is about 50,000 light years; so after a distance of about 20,000 light-years, we would be near the edge of the Milky Way. If you could travel close to the speed of light, this would be 20,000 years. (Note: I am not considering relativistic effects.)

It really depends on how fast you want to travel if you travel at the speed of light it would roughly take 13,000 light years to get out hope I helped
