Paris Metro Help

Options
Hope u guys can help please, We are going to Paris next month and was going to use the metro to get about everywhere I have done some extensive research but still have a few questions:

1, we will be arriving on a Sunday and leaving on Friday and are planning on buying the Navigo weekly pass for 30E each, only issues is on the Sunday we will need to go from the airport to the hotel near Eiffel Tower how should we pay for this?

2, what metro line do we need to take from the airport - Eiffel tower and if any stops are involved?
3, What is the quickest way to get from Eiffel tower to Disneyland on the metro?

Can anyone reccommend an easy to use website or an app for the metro?

Thanks

    Citymapper app is invaluable for journey planning in large cities.

    The station you need for Disneyland is Marne-la-Vallée Chessy on RER line A.  Here is RATP's (Paris public transport) Englsih language site where you can plan your journey

    Just be a little bit careful especially late at night. It can be quite an experience.

    Maybe given the current problems a touch risky?

    Firstly, WHICH airport? If you arrive at CDG you will need the RER to get into town and then change to the Metro; if you use the Ryanair airport you will have to take a bus for a good hour.

    I suggest that you buy a carnet of Metro tickets rather than a pass. You will be surprised at how often you want to walk: distances within central Paris are not great, and the whole area is very attractive. And for slightly longer journeys the buses are very good and obviously offer far better views. And of course there are many stairs to enter or leave Metro stations.

    Don´t waste your time with Disneyland.

    We will be travelling on easyjet to CDG on the sunday.
    We will be buying the Navigo weekly pass from the airport to start from mon-sun 

    If I buy a single RER ticket for around 11euros to get from CDG to central Paris, Can I use this same ticket for the change to the metro from  Saint michel notre dam station or will I need to buy another ticket for the metro?
