You aren't going to be able to disable plymouth. Also you don't need to.
If you remove the kernel option for the graphical display (which used
to be rhgb, but I am not sure if it still is) then the system will boot
in text mode. (You still get a resolution switch if modesetting is being
used for your video card.)

It isn't clear to me if you want to get a vt for login or just have text
up until X starts. If you don't want X, you can boot to runlevel 3 by using
3 as a kernel parameter.
