My  Webkinz Deluxe Account got a nice surprise today.  It might be a glitch and I’ll find out soon when the extra gifts go missing, but there was an extra Deluxe Gift Box and Roller Coaster in my Webkinz Dock today!  It wasn’t there yesterday.  What a nice Surprise on Good Friday.  Maybe it’s part of the Easter Surprise gifts!

Besides getting a Wish Token, Racing Helmet, Roller Coaster and Rice Paper Divider my Signature Panda and Webkinz Canary can now ride the Roller Coaster at the same time PLUS my Webkinz Pelican can ride the Bamboo Chute Slide too!!!!  I put the Roller Coasters next to each other in my TreeTop Room so it looks like one Ginormous Roller Coaster Ride like at Rocky Springs in my hometown of Lancaster, PA where I grew up.  Here are the three Webkinz riding simultaneously around the Roller Coaster and Bamboo Chute Slide.

Webkinz Day Extravaganza scheduled for May 1st to May 3rd, 2009.  Check out the Webkinz Day Extravaganza Store Locator in Webkinz World. Webkinz World is Celebrating is 4th year Anniversary with another weekend of events filled with surprises, prizes and lots of fun for the whole family.  Also visit your locally owned Webkinz Retailer near you for lots of Webkinz Day 2009 Activities.  Play the Wheel of Wow, Hunt for Gems at Arte’s Mines, play Balloon Darts and best of all purchase a specially tagged Webkinz ExtravaGanza pet for just $1 with every $15 purchase from their store! (Participating stores only) 

Today’s purchase was the Webkinz Signature Panda.  This new Wildlife Federation-looking Panda has a Gold W insignia on his foot instead of the rainbow of color Webkinz W.  Wekbinz Signature Panda Gift Box is made of Black Bamboo (becareful with that bamboo plant, it’s a runner.  Keep it in a pot!) and also some golden Bamboo.  The Signature Panda’s best buddy is the Webkinz Chicken!  My Signature Panda likes to eat Signature Sushi Rolls.

The Bamboo Chute Slide is the exclusive gift for the Signature Panda is the perfect ride for the Signature Panda.  This is an interactive toy and can be used in the outdoor room.  When the Signature Panda gets to the bottom of the slide he lands on HIS bottom!!! Too Cute!!! And the ride starts all over again.

I’ll be bringing you updates on what Deluxe Upgrades I find on my Webkinz Deluxe Account.

First I got a congratulations on becoming a Deluxe Member letter from my Furry Friends in Webkinz World.  It says I should check my dock for a Deluxe Gift Box and exclusive Deluxe Member Hat.

Also be sure to check out your new Deluxe tab in Todays Activities to find out whats going on for Deluxe Members only.  Also, jump into the Gold Color Zone for some fun with other Delux Members.

The Deluxe Gold Phone shimmers and sparkles, just like real gold.  The Gold Color Zone can be selected just like the other color zones.

A new Color Wheel has been added to the bottom of my dock beside my Kinzpost Mailbox.  The Color Wheel allows me to edit the colors of my dock.  I can pick the color for the upper area that shows the time and KinzCash amount and THINGS TO DO TAB.  I chose RED.  And I can also change the color the the Tabs.  I chose GREEN.
