I would personally say something like "World? ... You mean... this isn't Earth?" But I don't know, perhaps it's just me wanting to believe Kansas is a world of its own, such as Victorian England XD

I think that this line is nothing more than a nod to the original work (Book or Movie, I'm not sure). When Dorothy steps out of her house in the movie, her comment is "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore".

As for Kansas being it's own land, or a part of the LWC, I would disagree. I think that, just like NYC, it is part of the LWM. Obviously, Boston and NYC are part of the LWM, so it would make sense that Kansas is also a part of that realm. Yes, obviously there is a Kansas in the Land Without Magic, but there's an England there too. It hasn't been established that the Kansas that Walsh and Dorothy come from is the one in the Land Without Magic. For one thing, those flashbacks would have taken place in the 70s-80s, but Dorothy appears to be from the era of the book. And the book and movie are known to exist in the Land Without Magic. In the Darlings' case, they lived hundreds of years ago, so the story Peter Pan in the Land Without Magic can have been written about them, but in this case Dorothy, like Alice, appears to exist several decades after her original story was already existent, which makes dimensional travel likely. I don't think we should state that Kansas Characters are Land Without Magic Characters until we know for certain that they are.

I think you might be on to something and Kansas may exist in the world without magic
