Take in consideration Cora's existence. Cora existed in Wonderland before Regina casted Rumplestiltskin's dark curse. Regina sent hook to kill her, but came back to EF to kill her instead with hook. There was a changed in plans and Cora waited 28 years with hook until they can cross the realm to storybrooke. She made it to storybrooke then died. It is obvious that OUATIW took place around the same time as OUAT because they were only able to cross realm after Emma has broken the curse. If you guys are suggesting that OUAIW has not taken place yet, then that theory will not account for Cora's time at wonderland and her time for which she had groomed Anastasia's magic skills.
