We are flying in on Delta and will be in first class...so that should get us toward the front of the immigration line.
You'll be able to use the AF business line, which should speed things up nicely.

If you're flying into 2E, the nearest AF bus stop is located between 2E and 2F. An easy walk after getting your luggage.

You can buy your bus tickets at the AF bus office between 2E and 2F (you can use a credit card, handy if you're low on euros) or just go straight out the door to the bus stop and buy on the bus (I think you need cash there).

Just be sure that you go to the stop for the #4 bus (Gare de Lyon and Montparnasse) and tell whoever is loading the luggage that you're going to the Gare de Lyon.
