You can start making the currency in the starter zone so the recipe will be easily available on day 5, but it's also competing with several other recipes (30 slot bag, starter epics).
Mats in WoD work a bit differently than before. BoE cloth scraps come from mobs and herbs, and tailors can turn them into BoP cloth, and again this is restricted somewhat by cooldowns. So you can't walk up to a tailor and trade them mats; tailors have to stockpile mats. This is going to exacerbate the usual pattern we see, where crafted items are massively expensive early on, and then taper down to a much lower price.
If you have a tailor alt at 90, it may be worthwhile to send them to Draenor on day 1. You can get the necessary recipes roughly 15 quests into the starter zone (

Getting the Plushie on day 5 is probably hard due to the (crappy if ask me) profession changes in you are running Tailoring on an alt. Like you said, the pattern for plushie can be obtained on day 5 for five
Secrets of Draenor Tailoring which need 25x
Sumptuous Fur in total. You can create one Secret per day.
The problem however is the
Hexweave Cloth (
50 needed for the pet):
You can
make four Hexweave Cloth per day via Tailoring which requires 20x
Sumptuous Fur and 10x
Gorgrond Flytrap. One cloth per four hours is generated from
Tailoring Emporium work order which costs 5x
Sumptuous Fur. So the building gives in total six Hexweave per day. This means 10x
Hexweave Cloth every day assuming you have work orders constantly running (
actually it's probably 11 per day due to the extra gain from daily CD when your Tailoring gets bumped over 600).
The total material cost for day is 5 + 20 + 6*5 = 55x Sumptuous Fur and 10x Gorgrond Flytrap.
Unless you want blow tons of money to AH upon the launch, your main needs to provide your tailor the Sumptuous Fur needed to make the Hexweave Cloth (
don't bother using the Trading Post as garrison resources are vital in the start). The herbs needed can also be a problem unless you RUSH your main to level 96 for the Herb Garden on the first day and even then the RNG might laugh at you and you won't get the needed Flytraps.
All in all, while it's definitely possible to get Plushie on the 5th day of the launch, it does require some extra effort. At worst, you'll need 275x Sumptuous Fur (
probably around 250-260 in most cases) and 50x Gorgrond Flytraps to get everything needed for the pet. If your main has the Tailoring instead, getting the needed Hexweave is a bit easier as you can get more Hexweave per spent Sumptuous Fur.
