It was probably at least a few years, sine Henry met Ella after her escape and this flashback took place after Lucy was born. However, given the theory that time is frozen in Wonderland, Alice could have been there for years and not have aged. Maybe it was her 20th birthday when she met Robin.

This still doesn't explain the time flow in NEF. Ella is clearly not in her 40s. Is there any way Alice could have experienced time differently then Ella? Are we sure Ella was 16? This also suggests that time moves slower in NEF. 17 years = 36+ years in Storybrooke. This means that Emma and Regina should have aged more than Henry, not less. It should be on the conservative side. So, we should say bare minimum, Alice escaped and met Robin a year post Tower. Making it less conservative ages up everyone.

Toss away the NEF to SB time as it actually appears to be 1:1, not 2:1.

Ana was 13ish when Rapunzel returned, and it had been six years. Drizzy wasn’t a baby in the earlier flashback. Drizzy celebrated her birthday, Marcus searched for about a year, and Ana was frozen at 14. Tween (as in the PR) means 10 to 12, so Drizzy probably just turned 12 at her birthday. 12 + 17 is 29.

Ella wasn’t stated to be 16, but it’s a lot easier to do 12, 14, 16, given that Ella was clearly older than the other girls.

So, Ella was 16 + 17 = 33.

Alice experienced all 17 years as Rapunzel experiences all 6 years.
