Thank you so much everyone. I was really afraid because I am living in Schwerin, Germany and they only had this one by the Media Mart here. The Apple store is about 80 miles from hear.

Yes, the computer will only draw the power it needs to charge.

Quote from below linked article from Apple
"Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue."

You are welcome, that will work fine. I regularly use my iPad 10 w charger with my iPhone that takes 5 w. My MBP would behave the same way if I had a higher power charger than came with it.
