Needs to be $1.03 or higher to truly get par -- but it's close!

Even if this is "as good as it gets" for the next while, its awesome!!

When we went on our first Disney trip in January 2009, our dollar was between 60 and 70 cents US .

1.02 is a good rate. I think it will fluctuate a lot between 1.05 and 1.01 depending on oil prices

This is good news for me
Leaving in 3 weeks and would love to not lose a ton to exchange

I've been checking the rate (it's actually part of my regular day job) for my trip this week. I've done some exchange in the last few weeks ranging from 1.01 to 1.022. Today's USD went back up a little bit as I type so I'm not making any exchange at the moment. Unless you're monitoring the market closely, my suggestion is to do small amount (e.g $100 or whatever amount you feel comfortable) each time for a few time to average out the up's and down's of exchange rate. I've USD account with TD and BMO. I found that TD offers lower rate in general but I normally compared the both bank's rate before making the exchange.

Have fun for your trip!

I bought 125USD for 130CAD early this week. This is just for some extra cash for small things that don't need to go on my visa

I have a USD acct and a USD Visa with CIBC. I fluff up my savings acct monthly and put more in when CAD is good.

The dollar is on the rise again today, for anyone who is looking at converting some $$'s.

I got some USD today @ BMO. I put it in my US account as we don't leave for another 27 days, I got $125 USD and paid $128.36 I will do more if the rate continues upward.
