It's just kind of hypocritical.It does seem like overkill but I can sort of see where they are coming from with their refusal to eat indoors or stand in long indoor ride queues. The likelihood of catching the virus is much higher indoors and the longer the exposure the more chance you have of catching it. On the other hand this article states theme parks have not been linked to any major outbreaks:

Because they ate indoors at Whispering Canyon during their luxury Copper Creek staycation. But, at the same time, they were seated so far away from everyone, I bet they made a stink about seating and demanded to be seated way out of the way (which I'm sure the server loved).
Yet they'll go in crowded gift shops where there's no way to manage a 6-foot distancing (I know from the Tribute store, it got so crowded in there at times).
I get the longer the exposure time, but most restaurants are being great about seating you 6-feet apart or more from other guests. And the ride lines are socially distanced and you're often the only one in your ride vehicle (I now rode ET 3x in a row in a course of several months having the entire ride vehicle to myself; heck we had the entire length of cars to ourselves one time on Figment - there was literally no one else riding but us LOL)
I think they're just picking and choosing what to do based on what they think looks good to the stans. Even the stans are asking why the discrepancy at this point.
And I guarantee if the Waldorf comes calling again but this time with an indoor #hosted / free meal, they'll be there.
