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!
So, fellow detectives, what do YOU think about Webkinz X so far? Let me know in the comments below!

My dock CONSTANTLY FREEZES NOW. Thanks for the horrible update webkinz, it’s terrible, way to many glitches and why would you think the up and down dock idea was good…its terrible.
Hi Sally Webkinz, I opened 3 gold coin gift boxes and 1 bronze gift box in my mnd2011 account and did not receive the kinzcash when I opened them? Please help!
never mind, i figured it out, it converts to a coin that you need to cash in…thanks anyway : – )
I for one am not so sure about not having the get items from storage button removed because I have a lot of stuff so it takes 5 to 10 min. to load my dock and that is long time to wait for webkinz to log you in. So I hope that it will load faster than that. Also can you please add moving and deleting/up grading our rooms. Thank you, Abbypup
Please friend me! I sooooo lonely
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also agree
Looks like some nice updates! :)
I so agree!:):):)!
PLEASE KEEP DOCK CUSTOMIZATION AND BACKGROUND BEHIND PETS!!
I would like someone to address the problem of all the overstock items that i can’t do anything with. I can’t sell them, can’t trade them, can,t do anything except store them in the17extra rooms, as long as you’re making changes, couldn’t you come up with a solution for this issue . I’m sure i’m not the only one with this problem. thanks for listening I hope you think of a answer…
What about Deluxe members! The colored dock and pet backround were one of my favorite feature of deluxe memberships! #notcool #noteXiting
I like the way you’re trying to organize the dock for easier access, BUT you’re trying to cram too much stuff along the bottom. The items in the dock appear to be much smaller now and that is going to make things more of a pain to find. Right now the items in the dock are nice and clear and easy to see. Any chance of rearranging things a bit to allow for the same size dock. It is a feature that we all use A LOT, especially in the Trading Room. PLEASE RECONSIDER the size! I’m looking forward to the new launch, but would rather have it delayed slightly and launch perfectly :)
Actually, after commenting, I really looked closely at the new dock once again. I don’t think my comments above were actually strong enough. I LOVE Webkinz and have been playing since close to the beginning and I’m actually almost in tears. To even see what some of the items in the new dock are I have to put my face right up to the screen. I’m so upset. This is going to make it very hard for me to play :( The dock is the very heart of maneuvering through the game.
WOAH Look at all that kinzcash!
