It looks good. This phrase is usually used to express the affirmative.

3. ディズニーランドに行くって言ったじゃな~い!  
3. "iku.te" is like "iku soudesu?" then negative, like "she/he didn't tell that it looks like they are going to Disney land.
って言う is just a more casual version of と言う here. Thus, "You said we would go to disneyland, didn't you?"

8. 結婚してくれるって、あなた約束したじゃない・ ・・・

Not someone, more like, "Didn't you promise you'd marry me?".

9. ジョンソン君すごいじゃん。日本語ペラペラじゃ ない!
9. Johnson isn't awesome. his japanese isn't fluent.
The opposite. じゃん is definitely affirmative (「…じゃないかの意」・「(『じゃない』の変化したも� ��。俗な話し言葉)…ではないか。…だね。」). He's good at Japanese.

10. 男は顔じゃない。ハートなんだっ!
10. can't see ( he doesn't have?) a face because of the hat?
This isn't meant to be taken literally. Literally, it means "As for a man, it's not the face. It's the heart [that counts.]" => "It's not about the looks/outward appearance, but about the inner values."

11. おいしいじゃない、このクッキー。どこで買っ たの?
11. this takii isn't tasty. where did you buy it?
クッキー is a cookie. Other than that, i's more likely one would want to know where you bought it if is tasty indeed. "This cookie tastes nice. Where did you buy it?"
