We had an employee leave today and I disabled their account. For clarification I right click the user in the Exchange Management Console and clicked "Disable." I got a message that said "Disabling the mailbox will remove the Exchange properties from the Windows user object and mark the mailbox in the database for removal. Are you sure you want to disable 'Users Name'? I clicked "yes" and not 60 seconds later I was asked to just change the password temporarily.
Can I get this account back?

Assuming you have an AD backup, you can restore their AD information by doing an AD restore ON JUST THEIR ACCOUNT (for the love of god to not do a full AD restore). Then do an exchange restore to bring their mailbox back, again just restore their mailbox not the entire database.
