There is no way to get any data from a disabled phone. The old photos can't be that important, as if they were you would have backed them up. Are you sure you didn't do ANY of the following?

  • Backed up to iTunes
  • Backed up to iCloud
  • Set up automatic daily backups to iCloud
  • Enabled photo sync to iCloud (different from iCloud backup)
  • Installed a 3rd party sync app, such as Google Photos, Dropbox, Box.com, Shutterfly, Nikon library, upthere.com...
