That is pretty much what we did last week. We scheduled a couple of TS and just used the gift card for them. If you don't have the gift card, then you would just have to pay for them. We loved the QSDP and will probably do it again. We have done the regular plan, but hate being tied to reservations and having to be somewhere at a certain time. This plan worked well for us. We even ate at some of the other resorts that had QS places. At Epcot, Sunshine Seasons is great.
