I've tried finding instructions on how to disable the rMBP from shutting down or sleeping when it's plugged in. Could anyone please provide me a link or instuctions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks

Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set Computer Sleep under Power Adapter to "Never."

Hi taliababa,
Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver. Set Computer Sleep to = Never and Display Sleep to = Never on the Power Adaptor tab only.
Cheers,

If you close the lid, the computer will go into sleep mode, regardless of the Energy Saver settings. You just have to leave the lid open for the computer to 'never' sleep (there are a few haxies that allow your computer to stay awake while the lid is closed, but I don't recommend them).

I did disable it in the power settings, but it will still go into sleep mode.
What do you mean you "disabled it in the power settings". What both Clinton and I provided you with is intsructions on how to set your Computer and Display Sleep options to "Never"....
Did you do that? If so, what do you mean it still goes to sleep? When does it do that? What are you seeing that makes you think it is sleeping?

Before posting here I went into the energy saver settings and set both computer sleep and display sleep to never under power adapter. When I close the lid and then reopen the lid there's a black screen until the gray apple logo screen appears and then the desktop.
Disable auto shutdown/sleep when lid is closed
