There's another trick used at Disneyland (I'm not sure about the other parks) is there's very few long lines of sight in the park. The walkways connecting the lands have curves with trees and theme elements blocking your line of sight on the inside of the curve.
The short sight lines help keep everything in view the same theme so you're not jolted out of the "Land" you're in. It also helps keep the park from looking full. A majority of the park's crowd is outside of your line of sight at any given time.
Notice how crowded Main Street or New Orleans Square feels during a show/parade vs five minutes after it's over. You'd think the crowd got bussed out of the park.
It's even cleverer when combined with the forced perspective so the short sight lines never really look short. The forced perspective of nearby buildings tricks you into thinking distant buildings are farther away than they are.
