Due to ongoing technical issues with Webkinz Party Packs, that often cause them not to start, they will be retired from the W Shop at midnight, August 25th. Any Party Packs that you currently own will remain in your Dock and can still be used, however we cannot guarantee that they will work properly, due to these ongoing issues.
Even though this feature is being removed, the party continues in Webkinz World! You can always meet up with your friends at the Kinzville Park and at the Webkinz Clubhouse, and it’s always fun to challenge your friends to games at the Tournament Arena. You’ll also notice that some of the loot bag prizes will be appearing on Webkinz prize wheels in the future.
Don’t forget to keep the party going by downloading the Webkinz Desktop Application, so you can enjoy Webkinz for years to come!

Awww. Sad.
It’s sad, but they just haven’t been working — I kept getting invited and when I tried to go, the button just wouldn’t work. I felt like the people inviting me thought I must be rude or something. I sure hope they come back some time!
Oh ! I will miss this feature SOOO much ! I have many I have been holding on to all these years ; so sad. Ella, can we sell them back to the shop and get our money back ?
So far as I know, you can sell the party packs back to the W-Shop. I think that we only get half of the money back but at least it’s something.
This is for the best. Parties are fun if they work. Never could get the bugs out though. Lots of other fun and fantastic things to do.
Oh man please give us back the feature of inviting people over or something :(
Aww man, I’m so sad to hear that all the party packs will be retiring :( I know they’ve been experiencing issues for a while now, but still. I loved this feature, when it actually worked! And yes, it was very frustrating to spend 1,000 kinzcash when they didn’t work out, but I don’t see why they’re being removed :/ Guess I’ll have to stock up on a bunch before they go…
I agree, it was frustrating when they didn’t work, but it was so fun when they did work! I’m sad they’re leaving!
IKR? There goes another piece of Webkinz World! Why not redesign them so they work instead of getting rid of them? This has happened too many times.
I don’t think that the Party Packs have the platform that they need any more. It will take a whole new re-think on how to work out the ‘visit’ feature.
Seeing this honestly breaks my heart. My webkinz friends and I love throwing parties – glitches and all. We’re going to be stocking up so we can keep having parties after this date. Would it be possible to put seasonal packs that aren’t available right now in the Wshop for the next few days for a last chance to pick those up too? And if you’d consider leaving them (even just the room party packs instead of the house ones, since they have less problems) we’d really love that, because it’s such a fun thing to do in Webkinz World!!
So sad–these were always such fun.
Never could get enough members to join the party. I end up having a party with only 1 person showing up three times it was so sad. Glad to hear the gifts will be on the WOW wheel .
Coral Cove often has parties, and raffles.
It’s always fun when you load into Coral Cove and win a raffle prize. I hope these parties continue there.
I know! My main account actually won earlier this month!!!
