It probably was actually just a few weeks (long enough to kill the Dragon and get engaged). However, Abigail did travel with David, and I am presuming it was to George's Kingdom, since in Snow Drifts we actually see that they were returning to Mida's castle for the engagement ball. so there was at least some unspecified amount of time between the Dragon ("The Shepherd") and the engagement ball ("Snow Drifts"), since they were actually engaged at Midas' castle to begin with. I was under the impression that James died and George got Rumple to bring David in the span of two days if not three. Then he got the haircut and "princely makeover" and basic details about his brother's life while on the journey to fight the dragon (time would hardly have been on anyone's side). And then a few days later, he'd be back at George's castle where they got engaged and then they set off to Midas' castle, which is where he met Snow. But I think there was at least one day between Snow robbing Charming and Charming finding her in the original timeline as the altered one shows him meeting Regina at his engagement ceremony, meaning he would've recognized the girl in the wanted poster as his thief. I'd place that whole chain of events at about two weeks, tops.
