Hello Kinzville! Today marks another update in Webkinz World and I’m here to talk about what’s new.
- There’s something NEW about your Dock! Now each time you buy, win or send an item to your Dock, you’ll see it appear in the NEW Dock tab! If you have lots of items, you’ll find it easier to keep track of them. And each time you log out, the tab is cleared, but you’ll still find them afterwards under their usual Dock tabs.
- Want to know what’s going on in Webkinz World each month? We’ve added a link to our Event Calendar in the Things to Do menu!
- Wheel of Wow Prize update! Spin the Wheel of Wow on Webkinz to win great holiday-themed prizes! The mobile Wheel of Wow and the Deluxe Wheel have also been updated!
- Zany Holiday Sweaters have arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet! You’ll only find these cute Christmas sweaters for a limited time!
- Sunday, December 13th is Deluxe Day! Deluxe Members can log in for a fun-filled day of activities, plus they can visit Today’s Activities to pick up a special prize: a Mistletoe Mantle Fireplace!
- Countdown to Christmas begins on December 14! Remember to visit Ms. Birdy in the SantaKinz Room at the Clubhouse. You’ll get a prize every day from December 14th until Christmas Day!

Mayor of Kinzville
Has anyone else been having trouble with the logout carnival? Since the last update mine randomly kicks me out with the message “I am sorry we can not login to Webkinz World right now, please log in later for more fun” (or something like that-lol. However, I can log right back in again, logout & be able to complete the carnival. It is still happening after this update :(
Yes kittenhideout, I’m having the same issue.
Me too
Wow even me btw this is the first time she’s done something for this town. And I see why, they have a lot going on, and there nice things. But hopefully she will do more next time. Not being mean it anything lol!
Okay i was opening a gift from one of my friends and on the lower left of my computer screen i see a bear’s head. i freaked!
I am not having that problem, but I am having trouble with the new items tab, when I tried to use it it would not let me place the item that I just returned to my dock and it also froze everything else to. I could not leave my room or even log out as the log out button disappeared, I could only shut down completely. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
me three!!
I am also experiencing the same scenario.
Also i can’t collect candy canes IN WW. I am so bummed!!!!
I had that problem too, go to the Kinzville Map, then use the arrow that hides your dock. Once the dock is hidden, you should be able to click on the candy cane and send your requests to your friends. :)
Does anyone have some advice on how to request candy canes and actually have it work? it’s not fair that some people can request candy canes and the rest of us just get to send their requests for a candy cane back.. When you only get one candy cane a day (cause NOT getting the one from Webkinz Newz either!) it will take More than a month to get grand prize. Why and what can be done to fix? i cleared cache and updated server.. So FRUSTRATED!!!!
You should email Customer Service about that. Hopefully they’ll be able to fix the problem for you. Good luck!
That happened to me a few times.
1caryl! was a pink dalmatian named Jillian pestering you saying “Nice to see you!”? that was meeeee!!!! we added each other remember?
lol – I love peppermint ;) That was fun! Glad I could run into you, I was only in the park for like 2 minutes to gather up some trash – there must have been some party in there because I found a lot of rubble! lol
Whew! Glad it wasn’t just me or my computer with that issue!
That happens to me to me me sometimes but not regularly
i get it occasionally. However on one computer (I don’t usually use) when I log out it flashes briefly on the carnival and then I’m out – no message (Safari not quite the latest update). The one I normally use works fine (an even older version of Safari). I’ll be on the other computer more often since I try to sign in later in the evening from that one to reply to Candy Cane requests – it will be interesting to see if it was a one time occurrence.
Love the new upgrades! Its nice to be able to get your new items right away!! Thanks Ganz!!
Love the NEW tab! It’s going to be so much easier to decorate rooms now thank you ganz!
The new tab actually makes it easier to do pet care hearts for me. I drag and drop sinks treadmills, trampolines, swimming pools, and bathtubs into many of my 116 pets rooms. Once I add the item to the pet’s room and then remove it from the pet’s room it shows up in the new tab.
I really want the updates finished, but still I can’t use my TVs, trampolines or ten year items! I don’t want more pet requests, so don’t keep adding that to the updates. Just getting the items we have working is the best and first priority for updates!!
I am glad there are more updates, but Please! No more pet requests! They always interrupt me when I’m doing what I want to do or when I’m in the park or clubhouse or playing a game or in a tournament game. That is very aggravating! I really just want my TVs and ten year items to work! Please make these a priority! Please!
I ditto the remarks/requests by so many here; it’s very aggravating not having so many of our items not working or invisible, and the increasing pet requests just make it more aggravating. I thought it might just be me as a grown up thinking it was aggravating, until I hear the kids playing and complaining about the pet requests. I enjoyed so much more when we could ask our pets something, like what they did while we were gone, or telling them they are good pets…. you remember those remarks before X? I mean, it’s really fun (for the kids) to have their plush pets ‘come alive’ on WW, and to play with them there, but not really so fun to have the pets control or direct the play. …. sorry to vent, just my 2 cents on it.
I’m dealing with all of the changes pretty well except for my items, especially estore items, not working. Really looking forward to having those back. And all of the seasonal items working in their respective seasons. I hope the fireplaces, all of them, will light this winter. I like the new dock space for newly acquired items, we needed that, and thank you. This year’s holiday lineup looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun, I’m looking forward to visiting Ms Birdy to see what she has for us this time!
Some good news: 4 of my fireplaces are working again! So far, the Candy Cane Lane, Home for the Holidays, Garden Patio and Clean & Green Fireplaces are working, YAY!!! Keep the fixes coming, Ganz!
I’m starting to wish Ganz never thought of the Webkinz X idea. Yeah i like some of the things to it but, its just screwed up so many things in Webkinz. Webkinz X has been out for months and the same items remain broken and are not working. Yes, i know they have over 10,000 items to fix but isn’t there a way this could of been avoided or done when they put in Webkinz X? I’m just starting to hate the idea now. I especially can’t stand the pet requests. If you ignore them twice, their happiness goes down to like, zero. Only way to shut em up is filling their heart, but even after that you’ve got your other pets nagging at you. Ugh. I also really don’t like how if you put your pets to sleep while playing, they become hungry more rapidly. Sometimes i forget to take them out of bed and it just annoys me. Yeah, starting to wish the idea was never thought of. I miss some of my pets items. They do absolutely nothing. :/
I agree. I still love Webkinz, but I feel like it was a little (okay, a lot ) better before Webkinz X. I never was on board with the whole idea in the first place, and now I can see that I was right in a way for not even liking the idea. So much doesn’t work. I can’t invite my friends over. Most of my really cool items don’t work. I can’t watch tv anymore. And to add to it all I have lots of pets bugging me constantly for some weird thing. I mean, I like the family score prizes and the fact that my dock doesn’t take forever to load, but I honestly still preferred the old webkinz.
why hasn’t the updates of fixed items been “updated” from Nov. 11th????
I love the new updates, but I can’t do my candy cane requests now! It takes several tries to even get the candy cane indicator up, and then when I put in friend requests, nothing happens. I have cleared my cache, and restarted my computer, it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
Ooohhh so THAT’S why Webkinz went bonkers while I was playing earlier today! They were doing the UPDATE. I see now.Can’t you make Deluxe Day on a Saturday??? I’m not allowed on Sunday.
Sally Webkinz? I have a problem. I adopted my Pink Dalmatian yesterday but I never got the Pet Of The Month bag :( I was one of the winners for the contest so I entered the code in- no bag!!! Only the gift bag for a new adoption:/
Please send an email to webkinzsupport@ganz.com :)
Okay thanks :)
adventure park needs fixed…CMSROCKZ
Could you be more specific?
I think one of the updates was about auto-hiding the dock. There were many times in playing that I had to manually lower it just to get something to work or to play a game. Have you tried that to see if your candy cane indicator will pop up? For me, the only time the automatic lowering of the dock had been an inconvenience was when selling items at the wshop – any other time it came in pretty handy. Anyways, I hope this works for you! It would be so sad to lose out on a day of collecting candy canes.
If you can’t find the candy cane collection icon it is in your kinzville map it is not in the house anymore
Oh, hiding my dock worked! Thank you SO much!!!! I appreciate your taking the time to help me.
I am so glad hiding the dock worked for you!! Today, I was having trouble with the candy canes too. I had to position the cursor “just right” in order for it to respond, but so glad it at least worked ;)
I had this problem too, but then I clicked on that arrow to hide your dock and then the candy cane requests works, try it. :)
Aw, I don’t want more pet requests…. And it’s seriously annoying I have to clear my cache each time. I mean, some games save your progress that way. Ugh.
Yay! I love the NEW tab! And I can’t wait for deluxe day:-)
Oh my word!!!!!!! Sooooooooooo excited I can’t even tell you!!! Thank u so much!!!! And I’m so glad that you gave us a new dock for the stuff that we buy! I’ve been wanting that for so long…
I know! That is going to be very nice, the pet requests, not so much.
I’ve definitely noticed that the more you play with a pet, the fewer requests it makes. Like my non fox pets they make a lot of requests. My foxes almost never ask for anything unless I’m playing with them.
I’m not SUPER excited about pet requests (I like them, but to a certain extent), but I am liking the other updates this month! Nice new tabs and clothing and prizes and events and WOW! Exciting stuff.
I agree. I am so sick of pet requests. To try to avoid them, I have to leave my pets asleep all the time, and I am so sick of that, too. I hate it. They look dead, except for the annoying distracting snoring that still freaks out my sensory issues. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Please, no more pet requests. Whiny, demanding pets need to stop. So does the annoying snoring. And all the huge amount of snoring in the rooms that ruin all the screenshots. Come on, ganz, stop punishing us!!! The “new” tab sounds completely pointless. How about docks that actually load all your items, so that when a pet demands certain shoes you can actually GET TO YOUR SHOES which are ridiculously at the END of the list now. When everything was just alphabetical, it was waaaaay better. You at least had a shot at getting to one of a limited specific item (like say a request just for shoes, not a very specific pair of shoes) before the time runs out and the pet gets rude and whiny.
Not that when the docks were like that — sensibly arranged — we had to worry about fulfilling pet requests, because that was old Webkinz, and this extreme nightmare that is Webkinz X did not exist to ruin my favorite hobby.
Well, Hyperborea everyone does not feel that way. I like it, we all get free stuff, but I think that it is still a little bit too much request. Even when you want to and the computer is running slow, but they will fix it.
I agree Also when will they fix the Ballerina bed? My night n day bed doesnt work? Just bought it on Black Friday? I cant attach my zum buddy?? WHY? My page no longer says Deluxe?? Still waiting for my 2-tier Mothers Day flowered fountain to appear in my room?? Too many items still not working? I am sorry but Webkinz was better before X. I cant invite anyone over either?? This is frustrating not FUN !!
I’m with you. Would really like to be able to play with my stuff. tired of all the gray blocks . Ganz please fix that Now. Tired of not being able to contact any one about these issues. Come on Ganz step it up every since the X all my stuff in my dock like slides and towers and fountains this stuff don’t work.
Wow!!! All of this looks great!!! Well done, Ganz!! :)
Yeah, these are great updates! I think the NEW tab will be very helpful! Only thing is, the pet requests are going to be more annoying… OH MY GOSH AND THE DELUXE PRIZES ARE JUST KILLING ME… =’[
Yay, this NEW tab is awesome!!! I have thousands of items and it’s very hard to find some of them. Thanks so much Ganz!!!! And I know Emiemiemiemiemi, these Deluxe prizes are so Fantastic, I really really really wish to be Deluxe!!! :P :(
Wow, WebkinzLover2015!!! I probably have about 200 items, but that is no where close to thousands!!!! That must be so much work to sort through… But anyways yesterday I was SO MAD because I accidentally traded my super bed!!! I pushed “Trade” instead of “Reject”, and the rest is history..
Oh 2002ganz, I’m sorry for you. I would send a super bed to you if I would had one but I don’t usually trade for them. I trade for clothes and rare items, and sometimes when somebody have Deluxe stuff for it too. And I have that many items because I haven’t had yet any storage room, I’m too busy with earning money to build “Rare” Rooms with that kind of expensive things, once I paid somewhere about 45.000 KC.( I know… there’s a lot of money but someway it worth). :)) :D
Cool! I love Christmas in Webkinz! I’m looking forward to all of this (except more pet requests, but that’s a different story)
Do your pets make pet requests a lot when you’re on? Most of my pets don’t for some reason.
Yeah, my pets make a lot of requests. It could be do to the fact I have a lot of pets, but I’m not sure. On one of my accounts, I rarely get requests. On my other account, I get lots of requests. Yesterday I wasn’t playing for very long, but I kept getting requests every two or three minutes. I don’t mind getting requests every once in a while and I really like the family score prizes, but I feel like my pets have requests a little too much. It’s hard because, after a while, I really don’t want to do them, but I don’t like seeing my pets sad, so I do then anyways. And the hard thing is that they do it at the worst times, like when I’m at a party or at the clubhouse. I don’t know. It’s really weird how on one account, getting a request is like finding a gold mine, and on the account, I can’t get a break from them.
Some people do this and some don’t, but make a couple rooms, if needed, and add beds everywhere. I put all of the pets, except the ones I use most, to bed. That way they don’t bug me. I have about 60 webkinz, so I have like 6 bedrooms.
Only mine have been making requests even when they are sleeping! If their heart is not full, they will send a request fairly quickly. But, if I fill all hearts first thing when I login, then the requests seem to be fewer. This is quite time consuming, but more enjoyable to play other areas when my pets aren’t bugging me for stuff ;)
That’s a good idea, emi! I might try that! Also, kittenhideout, I never noticed that they don’t ask as much when their heart is full. I really want to fill all of their hearts now so they won’t bug me as much, but I’m not sure how I’ll do that. Both of my accounts have a lot of pets.
Yeah! Exactly. They should make it so the don’t make requests when you’re actually doing something already (like questing in the Adventure Park, or playing in the Magical Forest.) What really nags me is when they ask for something when I’m doing a daily activity. -.-
That’s the worst! I really don’t like it when my pets bug me in the middle of an activity, or whenever I’m really busy. I love my webkinz, but it’s seriously annoying when they ask you to decorate their room or put a hat on them when you’re hanging out in the clubhouse.
YES that bothers me so much too!!!! My pets always want me when I’m trading. Of all times. Really.
Wow TaffyKitty12, that’s weird. I find that my pets’ requests are very inconsistent, it’s different each time I log on & I have no explanation for this. I try to do whatever they ask but sometimes it’s like you say, at the worst time possible. So my pets are learning about PATIENCE & finding out that we don’t always get everything we want. Also, if one starts pouting, I just may put it to bed & switch to a different pet. I have enough grumpy people in my life & don’t need grumpy pets!
I couldn’t agree more! While the pet requests on my accounts are normally consistent (at least at the moment), I still find them to be very annoying! And the worst part is that they don’t really show up when I’m not doing anything; they mostly show up when I’m in the middle of something. For example, yesterday I was decorating my Christmas room and trying hard to make it picture perfect so I could maybe send it to Michael Webkinz. It took forever because every few minutes, one of my pets would bug me. And the worst part is that they kept giving me requests that take a while to complete, such as taking them to the academy, doing a job, or taking them to the arcade (I already finished up the daily games, so I had to go to a regular game and find a way to lose quickly). They also seem to lie to ask me for something when I’m at the clubhouse, and they seem to like to ask me to dress them there. Well, I can’t dress them in the clubhouse since they took that feature down after Webkinz X, so I’m left with two choices: leave what I’m doing right now or stay and risk the chance of getting an unhappy pet. I wouldn’t mind pet requests if I got them occasionally, but this is way too much.
Tell me about it.It’s annoying.
TaffyKitty12, I hope Michael posts your Christmas room, I’d really like to see it!
Thanks Emerald1! I didn’t send it to him yet, but I think I’m going to do so really soon!
I just made a Christmas Room!!! I hope it gets featured somewhere! :)
That would be fun…
I respond to pet requests most of the time. Almost everyday I feel 116 pet care hearts.
I mean “fill” not “feel.”
I don’t mind pet requests. I usually spend my time filling pet care hearts and doing activities. I usually keep my pets asleep when I am doing daily activities which includes vacation island and magical forest. I only get pet request when I am doing Pet Care hearts. So I don’t mind the requests.
That’s great, Tffykitty12 and 2002ganz! Good luck to you both!
My pets eyes are always closed?? Why?
I think they are sleeping.
That’s the way it is with my pets! I have three accounts. On the main account (which has 50+ pets), I get moderately consistent requests, but the pets on the other two (which have about 18 and 25 respectively) barely make requests! It’s actually a little frustrating.
Most of my pets don’t either. Well….. It depends. Certain pets that I have seem to ask for more than others. Mr. Cuddles, my signature west highland terrier, seems to ask for a lot when I’m being him. Cookie, my cookie Mazin hamster, on the other hand, never seems to ask for much.
That happens to me, too. My jolly jubilee reindeer and my coyote ask for an awful lot of things, while some of my other pets like my yorkie, never asked for a single thing.
Yep I agree with every one of ya!
