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!

wow I did not se that comeing well now I can stay organized so I don’t have to clean my dock all the time I love being organized on webkinz even every room in my house on webkinz is full and organized I even have a storage room.
The pictures seem a bit small to me, I hope they are larger when it comes out. Also, the blue color is not good, white is better. I hope the dock doesn’t jump around like the current dock, and what others are saying, it’s very difficult to build a room when your items keep moving around the dock. Thanks for all your work in this!
I very much like the new organization system for the dock, but I do NOT like that you took the color customization and pet portrait backgrounds away. The dock just has too much blue in it in my opinion, and it makes it kind of monotonous and boring-looking. Plus, it doesn’t seem like you should be taking away perks from being deluxe, and I have only been deluxe for about 2 or 3 months so it’s not like I’ve had much time to enjoy it. Oh well, I know it doesn’t matter what I think anyway.
RockRfox, it DOES matter what you think, it matters what all of us think. We all pay for the use of the site in one way or another. I agree with you about losing Deluxe perks & am bothered that there has been no indication that Deluxe members will be compensated for this loss in another way. I hope I don’t have to discontinue my Deluxe when it expires in August due to disappointments like this. That would be sad.
The new dock is nice, but I don’t like the new Things To Do menu. What if you will want to add a new place in Webkinz, in the future? With the new design, there won’t be space to add a new button for that place.
true laur776 its nice to mix it up a bit but still you need room for butten like the edit and play unless there is a way.
The Webkinz designers will make the menu larger so they can add any new places
it all sounds really different…. it looks cool but it seems whenever they changed something before i always liked it the old way. like the w-shop and the map of kinzville.
Omg! Yay! I’ve been hoping they’d make a search function for I don’t even know how long!! I’m eXcited for Webkinz X!
I love, love, love how the clothes will be organized and and super happy that I will not have to wait and wait for my items to load.
I will have to get used to these changes once they happen, but overall Webkinz-X seems pretty cool! I’m happy to see what else is in store for this eXciting update! :)
When is the update?
i dont like the animation,,,,
