That was written in by the editors of the show, not the writers. It is not the last time they made a date mistake. It does not contradict the events of Welcome to Storybrooke and the Pilot which are clearly stating it is October 23, and we have direct word from the creators confirming the birthday is October 23.

As to why it says Oct 24, you can either assume it is a mistake from the editors', or make up any explanation such as time-zones in OUaT's Land Without Magic are reversed and that Phuket is 12 hours behind Boston instead of ahead, but we won't include fans' deductions on the wiki if the writers and other episodes themselves tell us differently.
