Yes, it should be "there are advantages/disadvantages". " because that obviously sounds wrong. " is weird and a bit of a tongue twister, so a lot of people incorrectly say, "there's (plural word)".

Yes, it should be "there are advantages/disadvantages".
Most people would not say "There is disadvantages." because that obviously sounds wrong. But to say "There're disadvantages." is weird and a bit of a tongue twister, so a lot of people incorrectly say, "there's (plural word)".
With the second question it should be "There are times..."
