When they still had Disney stores, I never bought anything but I totally missed plush mountain.
Yep, the old “Pink & Green” Disney stores, like the one I worked at, all had prominently featured, very large Plush Mountains.
The picture I posted was taken off the internet, but it could very well be from our old store, as the decoration around the video screen is the exact same, as well as the Honest John (Foulfellow) and Gideon (from Pinocchio) big figs above the 7’ line, in the far upper left.
Those stores were all very similar, but none were identical, IIRC…?
Anyway, Plush Mountain always looked awesome when it was well-stocked and organized, not so much when the store was packed and it had been thoroughly rifled through.
Too often, Guests (mostly the young) also wanted to get in it for a pic, and even dive into it. The stepped ledges had padding around them, but if you hit one just right there could be some serious damage. Fortunately, I don’t remember any bloody noses, knocked out teeth, etc., but the “diving” happened more than once.
Also, you’d run across the occasional slobbered on plush, when you were straightening it or rebuilding it at the end of the night.
When I was not in management (and even sometimes when I was), I restocked and rebuilt Plush Mountain many, many times.
I was one of only 4 CMs that could rebuild Plush Mountain to specs., in a decent amount of time.
Ya’ also had to get a bit creative a lot of times, when some plush didn’t show up in shipment.
So many CMs didn’t wanna’ touch it, but I took pride in making it look as good as possible.
Good times…!!!
