How do I remove bathroom floor & wall tiles?

This is my First Bathroom Remodel, and probably the 1st of many questions I'll need answered before I can even start demolition.
How do I remove bathroom ceramic floor tile? The tiles are 1 inch octagon ceramic tiles, approx 50 years old, and still set pretty solid. It looks like I'll need a sledge hammer to put a dent in it, but don't want to destroy the 1st floor ceiling below.
I don't know if it matters but the tile on the walls will also be demolished, but have not made up my mind on the tub (refinish/reline or replace).
When removing wall tile should I also remove the wall behind it?
Where do I start? Should I rent a dumpster? I have safety glasses and gloves - are there any other safety items recommended?
