If you need a place to stay, how about doing it at a movie set?  The Safari Inn is full of film history.  With its retro decor, it has posed as Florida.  It has been featured in Apollo 13, Six Feet Under, CSI, Desperate Housewives, and The Partridge Family.

This historical Burbank landmark offers complimentary shuttle services around town and has recently been fully renovated.  Even if you don’t need a place to stay, come by and take in the place that inspired the motel where  The Incredibles stayed.

Drink and Be Merry at Urban Press Winery
