Along with a new tutorial, they will receive their choice from 1 of 3 themed rooms to help them get started! Also, the pet gift boxes will now be awarded once the player completes a simple pet request.
- Look for some NEW prizes the next time you take your pet for recess at the Kinzville Academy! You’ll find a new assortment with each activity, just waiting to be won! You might also find some fun new food items in your packed lunch afterwards!

Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!
Take care, Kinzville!
NO, NO, NO to the new dock. It is terrible. Takes forever to find anything. I don’t even know the names of the items. Change it back. NOT FUN.
Completely agree here. What we do need is a search items feature :L
I love the way the dock is sorted and I love the fact that you can get a free item everyday when you visit Mrs. Birdy.
Big old – NOPE! – to the “new and approved” dock system! But have to presume if the developers put the time into this sort of change – we all best get used to it…
And I wonder how many folks, like myself with be spending time until their vip subscription comes up trying to decide if it is all worth it? I love webkinz and have been a member for 10 years but I’m getting heartily sick and tired of having these changes shoved upon us. This is yet another case of something being “fixed” that didn’t need fixing period and has left so many glitches and bugs in it’s wake it’s not even funny. I loathe these new docks. I can’t find anything. The only solution I’ve come up with is to spend thousands and thousands of webkinz money on storage and put EVERYTHING in storage, add even more rooms to a house that already has more rooms than I care to admit to, and keep my docks EMPTY except for food and the seasons items my pets may be using. And this is not a happy solution. :-(
That’s right. What a mess. I would rather have endured another election than have this shoved on us without a choice. I am not ordering deluxe early to see how this plays out. Doesn’t look good.
I like the new dock it’s sort of like it use to be. Much easier getting your pet dressed in costumes. No more going through all the shoes then hats then shirts and so on just to get to the dress you need. It’s all alphabetical and together i.e. ghost costume the mask, shoes and dress are all together. No more going through the shirts and pants just to get to the dress so much better.
Lol and if you’re like me and really didn’t pay much attention to the names of the items in question like I suspect the majority of us did, than you’re left up high and dry and up that proverbial creek without a paddle.
I should have said the players BELOW!
I have to agree with the players above! BUT I do love the new feature of choosing your room when you adopt a new pet. Cool.
A couple of things – with the new update if I try to harvest a crop in my room it doesn’t work (although if I go to a different activity and then back to my room it works fine). I have mixed feelings about the dock (although I do agree with a previous comment that having the item name in the pet requests as well as the picture would be helpful). I don’t like that the dock “resets” overtime you move to different activity. I do like the suggestions that there be sub-tabs for the categories of items and I think all should have an A-Z jump tab to help us get to parts of our docks quicker – maybe not every letter but at least 4 or 5 (e.g., A, G, L, R, W). I’d also love to see a list of what we have, how many and where (e.g., 5 bagels in dock, 1 bagel in RoomA, 1 bagel in RoomD.) And if I’m going on about wishes (which I am) I’d love it if Doug were available at least 1 day a month all day in the collectors room. I’d don’t think he’s every shown up when I am normally on 4-6 am ET so I’ve only caught him a couple of times when I remember to check when I’m signing on late to take care of collection requests!
Hi rach1794. I think tabs are a GREAT idea! I would just really like to see everything back the way it was, then use tabs to label the groups. They could even put the groups in alphabetical order. For example: “Belts” “Bottoms” “Hats” “Shoes” Tops”…..etc. And about Doug: I don’t even try to see him any more. :-(
Just want to add my NO vote on the new dock system! Please put it back the way it was!!! It was so much easier to use before!
Aauugghh! What did you do to the dock?!? I have hundreds of items and it was already a pain to get to the shoe section or the toy section. Now it is a nightmare and impossible to find anything. Please put it back the way it was!
I agree! Please change the dock back to the way it was. I was much happier before. :\
Whoever came up with the new dock never played webkinz!!! I don’t like it either. Please put the old one back!
Hi Jezzbo75. I so agree! Whoever came up with the new dock not only never played Webkinz, but also, they’ve apparently never organized their own (real) clothing, shoes, hats, etc. LOL XD
