Avoid paying high fees for tickets by buying your park passes in advance. You can use the Disney World website to check out the prices and select passes for the theme parks you are planning to visit. Disney ticket prices drop with every extra day to your visit you add, so try to buy all your passes at once. Passes can be very expensive when purchased through Disney's website, so you may want to consider buying your passes from an authorized third-party seller. You can do this through a third-party seller like Undercover Tourist. You can also look for discounts through your local auto club (Triple-A has discounts on these theme park tickets when you have an account with them), your student union, your human resources office at work, or through Veteran Affairs if you are in the military. Do not buy passes on sites like Craigslist, eBay, or other unauthorized online ticket brokers. You cannot use someone else's unused Disney tickets, as Disney will not accept tickets that are registered under someone else's name. You cannot take coolers into the parks, but you can take backpacks and purses. Load up your bag with supplies like sunscreen, toiletries, band-aids, refillable water bottles, and snacks. Food and supplies in the park are often expensive so avoid spending extra money on items you can bring with you. If you are a large party, you should each have a bag loaded with basic supplies, including non-perishable snacks and a refillable water bottle for every member who will be visiting the park that day. This will ensure that everyone in your party is prepared for a day of walking around outside and enjoying the park. A backpack is also useful for any leftovers you may have if you do decide to eat at a dining spot in the park. This way, you can snack on the leftovers later in the day. Beat the crowds by arriving at the park right at opening time. The beginning of the day is often less crowded and cooler than the afternoon, and this way, you can take advantage of all the park has to offer. This will also allow you to take a break in the middle of the day when the crowds and the heat are often at their worst and then return to the park in the evening. Most of the theme parks open at 9 am and have Extra Magic hours, where they stay open later in the evening as well. Getting to the park early can also help you get a better parking spot at your chosen theme park. Once you pay for parking for that day, you will be able to reuse that day to enter any other Disney World theme park at no additional charge for the day. One of the biggest hurdles during a visit to Disney World is the long lines for attractions and rides. You can download MyDisneyExperience or the Lines app to determine the wait time for each ride or attraction while you are at the park. You can then plan your visit around line times and avoid standing in long lines, which will eat up your chance to try other things at the park. The app works for iPhone, Android, and other smartphones. Preserve your Disney World experience by taking lots of photographs of the attractions, the shows, the rides, and of you posing with your favorite Disney characters. You can then save money by framing these photos and keeping them as souvenirs of your trip. There are photographers hired by Disney to help you capture your special moments at the park for which they can stick it on a card and you can print them out at home (or for an additional charge, you can have them printed out at the park). Make sure you are aware of the price of the photographs before you get have them printed.

This method will work best on shoes that are made completely out of canvas, such as Vans and Toms. If you have a pair of shoes that lace up or have a rubber toe cap, try this method instead. Here's a list of what you'll need: Canvas sneakers Bleach Water Plastic tub Rubber gloves If your sneakers have inserts inside, you can pull those out and set them aside. This way, they will be their original color when you put them back in. This can create a nice contrast. You want to protect your hands from the bleach solution. For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water. The water-bleach solution needs to be deep enough so that you can submerge the shoes completely. The plastic tub needs to be long enough so that you can sit your shoes inside. Try to set them upside down in the tub. This way, more of the fabric gets covered with bleach. This will take one to five hours, depending on how dark the shoes are to begin with, and how light you want them to become. Keep in mind that some of the darker colors will never fully turn white. Some colors, such as black, will turn orange or brown. Be sure to check back on the shoes every 10 to 60 minutes. This will stop the bleach from acting. It will also get rid of the smell. It will take about three hours for them to fully dry.

One-sentence summary -- Gather your supplies. Consider removing the inserts. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. Fill a plastic tub with bleach and water. Place your sneakers in the plastic tub. Leave the sneakers in the tub until you get the desired effect. Take the shoes out of the bleach solution and wash them using soap and water. Let the shoes dry before lacing them back up.

Before adding any new sand to the tank, you'll need to reattach the drain plug. Screw it back in place at the base of the tank, making sure to tighten it in order to prevent leaks. Position one corner of a bag of pool-grade silica filter sand over the mouth of the tank. Make a small cut in the corner of the bag to allow sand to slowly fall into the tank. Work slowly and carefully to prevent any sand from spilling. Repeat until you have added the amount of sand needed for your filter. If you are worried about damaging the components on the inside of the tank, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the tank before pouring in the new sand. This will cushion the sand as it is added but may misalign the standpipe. As you add sand, make sure the standpipe in the center of the tank stays right in the middle and at the right height. It will need to reattach to the base of the multiport valve when you are finished, so you can line the two up to check if you're unsure. The amount of sand needed will vary between pool filters. Check for stickers along the side of the tank or in your tank's manual to find out how much your tank needs to operate. Use a garden hose to add water to the tank until it just begins to cover the sand. This will give the tank enough water to clean the sand and get the pump functional before you start filtering your pool water. Locate the rubber "O-ring" around the top of the multiport valve where it will form a seal with the mouth of the tank. Apply a small amount of lube to your finger and rub it around the O-ring. This will make reattaching the valve to the tank easier, as well as conditioning the rubber seal. If the O-ring is damaged, you might need to replace it rather than just lubricating it. These should be available from hardware and pool supply stores in the size you need. Remove the tape or plug from the top of the standpipe and position the multiport valve over it. Carefully connect the opening in the valve to the top of the pipe, and firmly push the valve into the top of the tank. Wiggle it around slightly as you push it into place to make sure it is secure. Position the collar around the edge of the multiport valve and use the two bolts to tighten it into place. As you do so, alternate between bolts to ensure the pressure is equally distributed around the collar. Reattach the pipes and screw the unions on as tightly as you can to prevent leaks.
