Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
Along with a new look and a new way to play, like the Pet Care Heart, Family Score, or Pet Requests, Webkinz X will also include a new Dock with an easier way to organize your items!
Here’s a look at what your Dock will look like with the NEW Webkinz!
CURRENT DOCK
NEW DOCK
We have removed the dropdown menu that was used before for sorting and added tabs instead. Within each of these tabs your items will now be grouped together first by item type, and then alphabetically within those types.
Here is exactly how your new Dock of items will be grouped and organized:
- AZ: All
- Special: Gift Boxes, Coins, Tokens, Coupons
- Food: Food, Garden Seeds
- Clothing: Helmets, Hats, Glasses, Shirts, Pants, Skirts, Dresses, Shoes, Belts
- Furniture: Furniture
- Decorations: Wallpapers, Floors, Decoration, Presentable, Carpets, In-Room Games, Webkinz Studio Characters, Webkinz Studio Backgrounds
We have also included a tab for Pet Actions; however at launch Pet Actions won’t be available right away. These will be added back into the Dock in one of our updates coming soon.
Once we have added Pet Actions back to the new Dock, we will also work on a search function for a future update, to help you better locate your items.
Some of the other updates to the new Dock include:
- No need to “Get Item From Storage”; items will now load dynamically on demand
- No Dock color customization or pet portrait background
- KinzCash and eStore Points have been moved to the top center of the screen
- KinzTime, Cell Phone, Message Center and KinzPost have all been moved to the top right corner of the screen
- HELP button has been moved to the new Options menu
We have also removed the Map of Kinzville items from the Dock and moved them to their own separate Dock which only appears when you visit the map. At launch, this separate Map Stuff Dock won’t allow you to sell your map decorations back to the WShop.
Stay tuned to my column on Wednesday, July 1st and I’ll reveal MORE about the exciting secret project, Webkinz X!

I have a bad feeling about this…..
Im a deluxe member and the only part I dont like at all is no custom things on the dock like portrait and dock color. Add me on webkinz i’m miapuffle
I think this looks great! Awesome job §!
Why do people always try to change what isn’t broken . . .
I wish they would alphabetize the pets by name so it would be easier to find them. With over 500 pets it gets time consuming trying to find them on their birthday for their cake.
I have about 20 to 30 pets and even for me with a medium amount of pets your idea sounds awesome! I get too lazy to give them cake when searching through amount.
I agree with that. It would be very helpful :)
Thank you Ganz for the sneak peak. It’s looking good. Thank you for listening to us and helping with the dock. It will be so much easier to make rooms and put things in them. The sorting option is helpful too. Can’t wait for the release!
i have a question, will we be able to add things to the map? like roads or trees ect? thanks in advance
They spent so much time on the great graphics of the room items only to make a dock that looks babyish. The only good change to me is putting the clothes into groups.
I echo the responses of others — I want to be able to continue changing the colors and backgrounds on my deluxe dock. it is fun to change it with the seasons and change it up when I get bored with it looking the same for too long. I agree that if deluxe isn’t much different from regular then it will no longer be worth the extra money for my three accounts. I enjoy the deluxe features of the dock. Also, the dock as it is seems much simpler and more organized and easier to use than the new one. The new one looks very cluttered. I don’t like the new pet care features either — it looks like my pets are about to become very selfish, demanding and bratty like the Zums, which I no longer play with because, who wants to hang out with demanding brats? I want my pets to be patient and well-mannered, not demanding brats!
The current dock looks WAAAAAAY better than the new one!!!! I don’t like any of the other changes either! I think you should reconsider and keep it the way it is. The new changes are not for the better. Better changes would be eliminating doors (which you said you were going to do a few years ago)and making a way for us to move the rooms in our house to different places.
