We see Leopolds/Regina castle and it is surrounded by mountains and no lake or water is seen anywhere near but we see Leopold find the lamp with the genie on a beach near a very large lake. We see several villages in his kingdom and clearly they all seemed to be spaced out yet none seem to be visable when we see his kingdom from a far. We see Cinderella's kingdom to be quite large, We also see Sherwood Forest is so large as it seems to be spread over several kingdoms and The Dark Castle is also surrounded by mountains and seems like it is miles away from civilisation so all this talk about the kingdoms being small and very close together because of short travel time is a bit silly. My plans have been dramatically changed to incorporate these large kingdoms. :( Um, several vilages, maybe. But we hardly saw Cinderella's kingdom. Sherwood Forest is indeed quite large. Since I'm a proposer of short travel times, I'll defend it. Short travel times means shorter distances. Simply fact. Regina took a carriage to Snow's wedding and she arrived in the late afternoon. So Dark Palace to Royal Castle is about a day's journey or a couple hours by carriage. This doesn't denote the size of the kingdoms, just that the castles are close. Black knights were chasing Snow White in Eric's kingdom around the morning and arrived back at the Dark Palace at night via horse. Snow, Emma, Mulan, and Aurora travel by foot from the safe haven to Royal Castle in about a day or a bit more. David left in the morning for Sherwood Forest, and was there around nightfall.

These are facts presented buy the show, just like traveling to Arendelle is roughly a few days. One can choose to ignore them, but it doesn't make it less true. In comparison to real life kingdoms, they are small or the castles are relatively close together.
