My father-in-law got some and my mother-in-law is worried now of where she can change them up? Can someone help. Can we change them at our hotel? All stars movies? Can you change them at the Disney Parks?

I presume they are $US TC's. If they are you dont change them, you use them anywhere just as you would with cash.
 
Hes got a $200 one and a few $100 ones i think.

So if we went in a shop and he spent $30 will he get $70 cash change? Sorry never used them myself.

Spend them like cash - you'll get change yes for sure, but be prepared that some shops will ask you for ID. Only asked twice on recent trip, once in Sears IIRC.
 

You can change the Travel check at the front desk of Disney's resorts. The only thing you can't do is use them at Target to purchase anything. The managers say they cannot take the checks.and corp says they are not valid. I had two different stores and called corp and all of them said no.
 
You use them just like cash and you will get your change in cash, Ive never been asked for ID in WDW but have been outside once. :goodvibes
 
As others have said treat them like cash.
Carry ID as it's coming a little more common to be asked, still unusual but carry just in case and it can come in handy in other circumstances.
There was an instance where one buffet place (Golden Corral not sure don't quote me) was temporarily refusing them but USD ones are treated as cash.

I was asked for ID in DTD and Walgreens this year.
UK picture driving license is OK or I laminated a copy of our passports as ID.
 
One waord of caution, if you have denominations above $50 there are many places (7-11 etc) where they cannot change them at night as they do not hold much cash in their tills.

Yes you are correct, Golden Corral had a sign up in August when we dined there. It was on the entrance door, no travellers cheques until further notice. Did not ask why as we use Nationwide credit card for everything.

I'd heard it was due to forgery, I assume passing large denominations and getting the change.
 
on the ID isusue the law states you are requierd to cary it at all times in the USA unlike over here.

Odd you should say that - I used a $50 T/C at Super Target off Conroy Road, Near mall at Millenia only last week and they said not a word.
