Do you have your hotel set, and if so, where is it? By yourself, or with others, and if so, how many?
From CDG, the RER B will cost 13 EUR per person into Paris and will include transfers on the Metro to close to your hotel (hopefully). Amount of luggage may also effect this decision.
A taxi to any location on the Right Bank is 56 EUR direct to your hotel for up to 4 people, or 65 EUR to the Left Bank.
There is also the Roissybus to Opera for 13 EUR.
You can take the RER A to Disneyland.

As Sam alluded to, the number of people in your party matters. When by myself, I take the RER B line and transfer as necessary. When I arrived with two others last month, we didn’t hesitate to take a taxi because the price difference was lower in that situation. If you are feeling jet- lagged or a little confused after your long flight, that might also be a time to choose a taxi. There are many people who will approach you saying “taxi?” Ignore them and make sure you go to an official taxi rank. At the rank confirm the driver is following the flat rate and takes credit cards before boarding.
River cruises leave from two locations. Near the Eiffel Tower and from Pont Neuf . I think the experiences are quite similar so I would choose the company that starts from the location that is most convenient for you.
I hesitate to suggest a city tour simply because traffic can be so intense and backed up. Are there key sites you are eager to see? Perhaps identify walking tours in those areas and use Metro to get around.

If the airport is CDG, take a Taxi Parisien from the official taxi stand. Do not accept offers from clandestine drivers soliciting from within the terminals. Taxi fares are fixed at 56€/65€ to the Right/Left Bank respectively (for up to 4 passengers and luggage). There is a 5.50€ supplement for each additional passenger from 5 to 7. Drivers are not tipped and accept Visa/MC
To reach Disney from any RER/métro, connect to the RER A, direction Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy/Disney. Cost is 2.50€.
