The way to do this is to create a new css class for your disabled buttons like this:
// CSS
.disabled-button {
opacity: 0.5 !important;
cursor:default !important;
}
// HTML
<button type="button" class="disabled-button data-tooltip-toggle="toggle"
title="MY TOOLTIP!"</button>
And then in your JavaScript button handler just ignore clicks from buttons with class of disabled-button.
