Lv. X Pokemon have the option to use any "attack, Poke-Power or Poke-body from its previous level."

'Disable' prevents a specific attack from being used.

Lets use: Empoleon and Emploen Lv X

Can Player A use 'Disable' on 'Ice Blade' if Player B's Active Pokemon is Empoleon Lv. X.

I have see the rulings referencing Memory Berry and Meteor Falls, to which the answer would be no, but this is a tad bit different. Memory Berry and Meteor Falls are effects from another card (an outside source), whereas with Lv. X pokemon, it is the card itself and actually treated as the same card. The Lv X always has this option; however, in the other case, it is dependant of the card that is causing the effect.

I say that it is treated as one card because if an effect was to remove the top evolution of a Pokemon, it includes the Lv X and the level right under it.
 
As you note, it is different than Memory Berry.
They are both the same Pokemon (same name) and so Disable can choose one of the previous level's attacks!
