In light of the recent heartbreaking news that Game of Thrones won't be available for us to watch again until 2019, I thought we could all use some good news. And, oh look, I have some! While you can't watch the new season, you can live like a part of Westeros, at least for a night. This has to add a little filling to the hole in your heart. Even if you're not a Game of Thrones fan, you know what it's like to love the universe a movie or TV show created. Now you can be part of the magic by staying at themed hotels, including GoT themed hotels!
My favorite thing about any movie or TV show that grabs my attention and makes me a fan is pretending to be a part of it after the credits roll. When I was in preschool, I was so obsessed with the Batman franchise that I kept wearing the Batsuit, fake abs, and all, well beyond Halloween.

Like other kids, I checked my mailbox every day for my Hogwarts acceptance letter, feeling more anxious and excited than when I was waiting for my college acceptance letter.
Fans around the world now have a room, or a stage, where they can fully immerse themselves in the essence of these worlds.
