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.
