"Dancing with the Stars" sees first perfect score and an elimination

There were plenty of good scores to go around on Monday night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars," which also saw its first perfect score of the season.

Disney set the tone for the teams who all picked tunes from Disney movies for their dances -- and Donny Osmond sat in as a guest judge.

Drew Carey and his partner, Cheryl Burke, got things under way with an "Aladdin"-themed quickstep, which earned them 28 out of 40 points. Judge Len Goodman wasn't too thrilled. Although this week's score wasn't so great, these two are going to the next round because of previous higher scores.

Charlie White and Sharna Burgess took on "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from "Mary Poppins." Osmond called it "fantastic." They walked away with 37 points.

The "Beauty and the Beast" tune "Be Our Guest" served as the backdrop for Danica McKellar and Val Chmerkovskiy's dance, which ended up being a big hit with the judges; Carrie-Ann Inaba even got up to give McKellar a hug. They nailed it with 39 points.

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough did a "Cinderella" waltz. Purdy had a difficult time during rehearsals, but the pair managed to pull it off during the show, scoring 37 points. "I hope Disney will make their next princess like you," Inaba said.

James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd impressed with "Let it Go" from "Frozen." Inaba cried and called their routine "absolute artistry." They nailed 40 points, the first perfect score of the season.

Cody Simpson and Witney Carson, who were in danger of being eliminated, took on "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from "The Lion King." Osmond said Simpson didn't seem to enjoy the dance. The pair received 34 points.

Nene Leakes and Tony Dovolani, who were also in jeopardy after last week, attempted a foxtrot to "Cruella De Vil" from "101 Dalmatians." They earned their highest score yet: 36 out of 40.

Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy took on "The Jungle Book" song "I Wanna Be Like You." Inaba seemed to like it, saying, "You dance like you're part of one body." They received 36 points.

Last week's lowest scorers Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas took on "The Little Mermaid" -- dressing up as Ariel and the crab. They received 35 points.

Based on last week's scores and fan votes, the three bottom contenders were Leakes, Cameron and Simpson.

In the end, Simpson was sent packing. The 17-year-old star said, "This has been a very new experience and an amazing experience. Obviously it's tough, but it is what it is."

His partner, Carson, added, "I'm sad. I feel like people didn't really get to see Cody yet. He's incredible."
