Well, depends what you call a "Disney Pairing." I mean, Tarzan and Jane were a pairing for Edgar Rice Burroughs long before the Disney movie; I like them as a pairing, but then I liked them as a pairing before the Disney movie came out. Same goes for John Carter and Dejah Thoris.
Of the (more-or-less) original to Disney characters, I like Goliath and Elisa a lot. Of course, that was developed before Disney decided to take control of one of its top television titles from one of their subsidiary studios, fire all the writing staff, and dumb it down to the point they had to cancel it by the end of the season. And Carl and Ellie were great in Up... shame she died in the first act, but then honoring her death was the whole plot of the movie. Kita and Milo from Atlantis, I suppose. Erm... Wall-E and EVA? Hm... drawing a blank on who else might be included here, here.
Honestly, Dreamworks does the "Disney Couple" thing, too, and did it better on at least three occasions I can think of: Shrek and Fiona (Shrek; honestly, my least favorite of these three, but supposedly the best known), Hiccup and Astrid (How To Train Your Dragon; I like Astrid better than her counterpart in the books (Kamikaze) anyway, and HTTYD is one of those rare examples of the movie being better than the book), and the oft forgotten Sinbad and Marina (Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas; good movie for its type, but woefully under-promoted).

You haven't experienced the full cofusion of modern gender relations until you've heard an angry group of women yelling, "We want tentacles!" at an all-night Hentai-fest.
