Can I use my existing power adaptor for my MacBook pro in Europe using the Apple World Traveling kit?  Do I need an AC converter?

    It's fine on it's own. It will switch automatically. However, you will need a wall outlet plug adaptor such as those in Apple's World Travel Kit.

    I did buy everything before I left the US... even bought one of the 220/110 converters at a luggage store - now I don't need that since the Apple World Kit works  -- I was afraid of burning out my AC adaptor but it worked like a charm just using the Apple World Kit.  They should label them - but not hard to figure out.  I wish I could buy individual adaptors since I have an iPad, iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro with me.  Lastly, I had to use my lighting cord for the iPhone 5.
