Suggested mode of travel for CDG-58 Rue Jacob
Our Delta flight arrives this Thursday at 7:30a. I am guessing we will be ready to leave CDG by 8:30 am. We will be 4 in total. We are ok with using RER and metro if that is best option, although we might be a little rusty as it has been several years. Specific stop to get off of the RER and instructions on purchasing RER ticket would be appreciated. I would prefer to walk from the RER station to our hotel than transfer to metro if the walk is reasonable. We are very fit and a several mile walk will be fine. We will have one carryon each.
Our friends Delta flight arrives an hour earlier. Can you suggest a good meet up spot please.

Take a taxi. Fixed fare now, which will be comparable to RER fare for 4. Can't suggest a meet-up spot without knowing what terminals the folks are arriving at.
PS, you would never have to walk "several miles" to get to a hotel from an RER stop.

Ditto what St. Cirq says. 55 Euro translates to 13.75E per person. I think the RER is 10.30 euro now. 3.45 euro more for door to door, no luggage schlepping.

Double ditto!!!. R Jacob is a long way from a RER stop. We always take the taxi to & from our apt/hotel in Paris. It's above ground, so you can admire Paris from the taxi. Harder from a train.

We paid 55E plus 5E tip for 4 people plus 4 bags CDG-Saint Germain. The taxi meter said almost 60E but thanks to Fodorites I knew about the fixed price. In the future we will confirm w/ taxi driver the fare before getting in. The woman at the info desk at cdg said city center should be 50E.
Thanks all for the info!!!
