While I know that Emma said she was the same age as her parents, I actually got the impression that Emma may be older than Snow by a few years.

Snow was probably 14 when she was adventuring with Hercules, and she was probably 16-17 when Regina had the Huntsman try to kill her. Even if she was 19 when she ran away from the Huntsman, she was bandit Snow for a very short time before meeting Charming. my Headcanon is that from Start of Bandit Snow to Dark Curse is approximately 3-4 years tops. (2 years as Bandit, 1 year working with David to reclaim the kingdom that culminates with the grand wedding from the pilot, and 1 year from the wedding to the Dark Curse.  "Enter The Dragon", I feel, falls into the time between "Labor of Love" and "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter". So let's say Snow was 15 for ETD, and 19 for the beginning of her running years. that would put it at around 8 years.before the dark curse. and then add 1 year after the initial effects of the DC were weakened and time started moving, so more like 9 years, total. Of which time, Philip and Mulan were searching barely over a year, since they didn't start searching until close to the time of the DC.
