My question is do you really want to eat essentially fast food and soda from the resort for 7 days straight? If you are counting on the mug, are you really going to back to a resort to refill every time you're thirsty?
There are 3 of us and for a week trip I always give myself a $1500 food budget. If we spend less, great, but I do not want to be stressing about whether I can afford a TS meal when I want something less fast food-like.
Character meals tend to run us about $100-120 for the 3 of us. QS meals, usually cost $50- $60. Mickey bars, drinks, snacks all add up. You can tell yourself you'll bring all snacks into the parks, but honestly, sometimes the popcorn or the dole whip call to you. Some days it is so darn hot you need a mickey bar. Sometimes you're just sick of eat the same old granola bar and you want that fresh pineapple spear.
If there is any way to up your food budget, I would. I would hate for my family to feel deprived on vacation.
Your souvenir budget sounds fine to me, we aren't big souvenirs people. We like our photos, a Christmas ornament, and DD gets a new set of ears each trip, but that's about it. We maybe spend $50-$100 total on souvenirs.
