Yes, it's 30 years. But both the Curse and Emma were born on the night of October 23rd, 1983. A&E confirmed in the summer that 4A takes place in early 2013 (and since 4B takes place almost two months later, we're in summer of 2013 at this point) so Emma is still not 30. That makes sense to me now as I did not know the exact date of birth for Emma, I do however know the date of birth for both Elsa and Anna, {Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice respectively} So Elsa would be just past twenty three years of age, and Anna just turning twenty to marry Kristoff at the time. So, to that extent, its about six years at best then maybe six and a half....

It either way it makes sense now. Edward, thank you for clearing my confusion up, I never was able to make sense of the ages and how much time had passed within the EF and Storybrooke. Well, here's another age-related tidbit. Since the show started, A&E have said Emma is the same age as her parents. Taking this literally, MM and David would both be 28 during the Curse. When Daniel was killed, MM was 10 (confirmed on-screen in SS) and Regina was 18 (confirmed by Lana on Twitter). So if MM is 28, that means Regina is 36. But since the Curse has been broken for almost two years now and since MM's birthday is presumably mid-March (speculation based on the LWM timeline) and Regina's is February 1st (confirmed by Lana on Twitter) then now MM is 30 and Regina is 38, with Emma still being 29 until October. No clue on when David's birthday is, however. But he's either 30 or 29 as well. MM's birthday was in the harshest winter, though, so it can't be March. It's from December to February. That is false. Spring is universally recognized as starting on March 19th-21st, meaning the majority of the month of March is in winter. She could have been born right up to March 18th for all we know. And months don't really mean anything. There's been multiple instances in the past few years where winter was so bad, it extended into mid-April and even early May in some places. Northerrn Michigan comes to my mind at this note; the ice up there never melted from what I heard!

Now then; on the topic of character ages; oy that is messed up! On the birthdays though; heh, my dad shares his birthday with Regina! :D
