Meeting at CDG
Hello!
I have perused this forum and have found some great info, however I'd like advice specific to my situation next month. There are four of us meeting at CDG. We all arrive as follows:
- 1 arriving on AC from YUL at 8:30 AM
- 2 arriving on AA from ORD at 8:45 AM
- 1 arriving on UA from ORD at 9:25 AM (this is me)
Looking at the map, it seems I arrive in T1, whereas the others arrive in T2. As they all get in ahead of me, what would be the best way for us to meet up after I clear customs?
Other pertinent info: we're going to the 3rd arr. and will catch the RER to town.
Thanks in advance for the help!

There is a shuttle from T1 to T2. I think it takes roughly ten minutes. Others will certainly chime in. The RER stop for T1 is not directly under the airport as it is for T2. So you either need to take a shuttle to the RER stop of T1 or you take the shuttle to T2 and then take the RER from there.

Tell the others to have breakfast at their own pace at a place of their choosing in T2. You then make your way over to T2 and meet them at the ticket office for the RER where they will have already bought you a ticket.

6 people getting from CDG to Marriott Champs-Elysees
Group of 4 adults and 2 children (4 and 1 yo), plus bags (at least 6!) looking to go from CDG T2 to Marriott Champs-Elysees around 10 am on a weekday - we would be looking for minimal walking.
Will there be taxis big enough to fit everyone or should I reserve a private van?
Any other recommendations?

As noted several times in this thread, there is an Air France bus that will take you from CDG to the Arch de Triomphe, and one can walk down the Champs Elysees to the Marriott from there. But with the kids and bags, your situation is way too complex for that.

Arrive Sunday, Leave Following Sunday
I will arrive on a Sunday evening and leave the following Sunday. I plan on getting from CDG to the Bastille station Sunday evening by way of one-way ticket on the RER-B and metro. The next morning (Monday), I plan on purchasing the Navigo Decouverte to cover the rest of the trip (Monday through Sunday- works out nicely).
My question is this: For the Sunday that I arrive, when I purchase a one-way ticket on the RER, is it good only for the train? Would it allow a transfer to the metro at Gare du Nord or Chatelet, or would I have to get a separate metro ticket at either of those stations for the transfer?

Double check this, but I think you're okay. Enjoy!

Since I didn't want to schlep bags all around Gare du Nord to transfer from the RER to a regular Metro line and again from my station to my hotel, but didn't want to drop 50 Euros on a taxi, I chose to take the RER B from CDG to Gare du Nord, then just exited there and took a taxi straight to my hotel. In my case it was 7.50 to to Vendome, but I would have done it even staying a bit farther away. Within Paris, taxis are not exorbitant, so it's a good option when Metro doesn't suit.

Parishuttle shared vans are 20 Euros door to door, they will take you to your exact destination. You don't need to go through these machinations.
