* ShownTheirWork: Despite the ArtisticLicenceHistory involved, there were many things the movie got right:
** Walt can be seen wearing a tie with the initials STR. This stands for Smoke Tree Ranch, a resort in Palm Springs where he owned a house in real life.
** P.L. Travers did indeed scoff at the casting of Dick Van Dyke, and suggested Laurence Olivier to play Bert instead.
** Screenwriter Kelly Marcel insists that although Walt never visited Pamela in her London home, everything he told her about his father was true.
** Bob Sherman did indeed have a limp from getting shot in the leg during World War II.
** A map of Florida is visible in Walt's office with the planned location of Ride/WaltDisneyWorld[[note]]named just "Disney World" at the time since it was Roy O. Disney who added Walt's name to it after his younger brother's death[[/note]] marked.
** Walt tells Dick Sherman that he knows how it feels to have someone else control the characters he's created. He's referring to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who was created by him but then bought by Universal Studios and handed over to other writers and artists.
** Employees really did say "Man is in the forest" whenever they heard Walt coming. It's a reference to ''{{WesternAnimation/Bambi}}''.
** The emotional weight of the scene featuring the song "Feed the Birds" is a nod to it being Walt's favourite song.
** Mrs. Banks was indeed going to be called Cynthia until P.L. Travers insisted on a different name.
** Walt was known for clearing his throat before walking into a room to let people know he was there. It also serves as a hint to the lung cancer that would take his life two years after the release of ''Film/MaryPoppins''.
** Although he didn't go to Disneyland with Travers, the film depicts him handling autograph seekers with pre-signed cards. This is something he did in real life.

** Walt coughs off-screen a lot, often just before the camera pans onto him. This is less of a foreshadowing tool, however, as his real-life death from lung cancer is not shown in the movie.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In a later scene in Walt's office there is a map of Florida; in the late '60s Walt and his team were in the process buying up land there for Walt Disney World. And right behind that map is Rolly Crump's iconic concept art for the canceled Museum of the Weird for ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion''. On the other side of the office is a poster for ''Ride/ItsASmallWorld'''s premiere at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

* HideYourLesbians: The real P.L. Travers was well-known to have in a relationship with another woman -- the two lived together, in fact -- at the time of ''Film/MaryPoppins'''s production, but said relationship is never shown and when Travers' home is shown there is no sign in that anyone else lives there.

There is a very brief moment in the corridor leading towards the hotel bar when she looks at an attractive woman who walks past her and then almost-reflexively looks in the opposite direction, but blink and you'll miss it.

** Travers' first visit to her hotel room shows a bunch of Disney character plushes, one of which is a Franchise/WinnieThePooh doll. Disney's version of Pooh didn't hit the screen until 1966. They ''did'', however, have the rights to the Pooh property by the time of this film. And oddly enough, they could have easily used Peter Pan for the joke of Travers having sympathy for an author whose work was turned into a Disney film, given the video with Tinker Bell she sees directly afterward.

** The film implies at the end that P.L. Travers liked the final version of ''Mary Poppins'', which anyone who knows anything about the actual history would realize is pretty false. Granted, [[NecessaryWeasel this was pretty necessary for the story and themes about letting go of the past to work]], and otherwise would've made for a pretty big DownerEnding, and the film at least frames her reaction as ambiguous -- she definitely looks mortified when she sees the animated penguins she objected to, and though we see her crying later, it could be either crying because she hates it or crying because of [[spoiler:the memories it invokes of her father]]. For what it's worth, while her liking the film at the premiere is made up, there is truth that Travers ''eventually'' came around to it. [[http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/saving-mr-banks.php Travers said in a 1977 interview]] that "I've seen it once or twice, and I've learned to live with it. It's glamorous and it's a good film on its own level, but I don't think it is very like my books." English writer Brian Sibley also noted rewatching ''Mary Poppins'' with Travers, with which she then displayed a similarly more positive (if still very divisive) opinion as in the film, making it something of a case of AdaptationDistillation.
