Boro from what I have seen.
Shawnette would know if any other glass is used - she works at Disney World as a glass artist.

Thank Elizabeth. I thought so. I had a very nice lady stop in and ask if I could fix a stag (looked like it came from Disneyworld). She;s house sitting and accidentally dropped it and broke off the antlers. The fix went much better than I expected. I think I'm going to make someone a very happy lady tomorrow

It still could be soft glass - here is an article about the glass at Disney FL in 2008 - they call it Murano Style glass blowing http://www.disunplugged.com/2008/07/...magic-kingdom/

Can you post a pic? It's probably (likely) boro.

No pictures but only had to heat base of antlers and head to re fuse piece so I guess it didn't make any difference because I didn't had to add glass. I heated everything back up in the kiln before I put it back together then let it go through a full boro annealing schedule. No problems and it looked great when it was done.

I see it's been answered but for giggles... Depends, although Shawnette can certainly correct me.
On Main Street almost always boro.
At the Springs, aka Downtown, I've seen soft glass about half the time. Olaf demo for the win!
Epcot, admittedly I haven't walked into Mexico (I will this weekend... Usually by that time, I'm drunk and stuffed so I send my husband in to see if Shawnette is working) but Germany was almost always soft that I saw, however I rarely saw anyone melting glass there. Could have been timing. I want to say it was a Lauscha advertised workbench.
Glad you were able to fix it!

Olaf is boro.
There have been a lot of changes in the last 2 years. There is no longer a lampwork artist in Germany. Only glass cutters.
Mexico is all soft glass. I'm a floater and if I'm working, it could be soft or boro, since I do both. It just depends on what's available and where I am. If I'm at Disney Springs or Mexico, it's soft glass. If it's Magic Kingdom, it could be boro.
If you see a man working, it's boro. None of the guys work with soft glass, except the furnace workers. (Back of the Magic Kingdom store)
(I'm working in Mexico Sunday. You should stop by!)
