i think they did this in order to shorten the experience and get more guests into the seats. during the dinner, the characters move from table to table and they manage to get them through in an hour. they do have a couple of dance breaks and a game but the plan is to turn over that room in just over an hour. If you don't have the singers, then you can have more Adrs and more guests. and this is a popular place for kids for breakfast.
