Disable *what*?  Disabling a .service unit which is triggered by a timer
event isn't going to stop it from running.

*Masking* a .service would prevent it from running when requested by a
timer event.

Apart from that, you'd have to remove the timer event.  However you do
that.  I've never used systemd timers yet.
