      commission on TCs ?

      Perhaps it's strange, but I've only ever taken cash over there

      Im tempted to get Travellers Cheques this time but I've been reading that sometimes commission can be charged to cash them

      "As with all Travellers Cheques, when cashed at a bank or bureau de change a commission charge may be applied and the amount varies from country to country and outlet to outlet. "

      Now, I guess from what I've read from here that I'll never actually have to cash any, I can just spend them as cash? Does that go for basically everywhere in Orlando including restaurants outside Disney etc.?

      I just dont want to get into a situation where I end up losing out paying commissions :/ especially with the poor exchange rate

      Yes you spend them just like cash. And you get your change in cash.

      We always take TCs. DH will usually cash one in each morning, so that we have a bit of cash, at the Resort's main desk and we've never been charged anything.

      Unless of course you take sterling checks. Then you will need to cash them.

      Do not take sterling checks.

      ooo ok so noted! the whole Travellers Cheque thing is new to me.

      Do you bother taking ANY dollars as well? or is it just not necessary?

      We take only a small amount of cash, to use when we first arrive. I don't like to carry cash....
