There are three different Time Zones in Webkinz World: Asian, European, and American. An account's zone is determined at the time an account is created; it cannot be changed afterward.
In Webkinz World
True Kinz Time
If an event is happening in True KinzTime, it happens three times a day, once in each of the Webkinz World time zones at the time on the clock in your account.
A good example of this is the Rare items at the Curio Shop. If an item is for sale at 8:00 am KinzTime, it will be for sale at 8:00 am KinzTime in each of the time zones. Asian accounts get it first, at 8:00 am (Asian time), European accounts get it next (at 8:00 am Euro Time), and American accounts get it last (at 8:00 am EST or DST time depending on the time of year).
Same Real Time
Some events all happen at the same time in Webkinz World. This means that they happen at the same time on American, European and Asian accounts irrespective of KinzTime.
A good example of this is the special clothing at PJ's Outlet. If an item is on special at 8 am KinzTime on American accounts, it is for sale at 1:00 pm KinzTime on European accounts and at 10:00 pm KinzTime on Asian accounts.

Your Time
The important thing, of course, is to figure out when something you want to do in Webkinz World is going to happen in your time. Depending on where you live, you are probably going to have to add or subtract a certain number of hours to know when to log on to Webkinz World.
The four time zones that cover most Webkinz Insider members have been included in the chart below.
