I would like activites like ripleys believe it or not, dixie show, broadway restaurant, and a good hotel stay that is not expensive. where can i find a good family vacation package that is not expensive?

A great place to check for vacation packages in Myrtle is Expedia.com.
I would suggest looking for a time not around the 4th because that is a holiday and things will be higher. This is actually one of the lower use times at Myrtle because it’s way too hot for golf and golfers are about 80% of Myrtles customers. So, maybe you can find a great deal. Good luck.
Here are some sites:

do you have any suggestions where to go for a cheap weekend getaway for at least 2 nights. somewhere fun and cheap to shop.

What part of the US do you want to go to? As the first response indicated that makes a huge difference.

Are online vacation booking sites like orbitz or travelocity safe sites to use and do they really save you $$ vs calling a travel agent?

When my boyfriend and I went to Hawaii last year we did all the planning ourselves. We were able to choose where we wanted to stay and were open to several different options, as far as flights go. I believed I used Travelocity to book the flight, and their security is up to par.
Ultimately it just depends on whether or not you want to organize your vacation or feel more comfortable just having someone else organize it for you. Personally, I think it’s better to do it yourself but I can’t really tell you if it would save you money versus calling a travel agent.

I need to book a vacation package to Hawaii. Does anyone know of the best or cheapest websites for discount travel, except for Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia. Please let me know from your experience which is best, even if it is among the 3 that I just mentioned. But I’m really looking for one of those sites or companies that people rarely know about (if it exists). Thanks!

PleasantHolidays.com and suntrips.com are the ones I always find the best deals.
