Or else fairytale land would be an extremely small world... In one of the episodes of season 2, Regina said she brought along whomever she wanted. They also stated IRL that it ripped away everyone from all of the worlds, and Zelena revealed in "The Jolly Roger" that there is a boundary to the curse. A boundary that both Ariel and Eric (and the Wonderland characters) fell under.

But when Cora protects the EF in season 2, it's stated that there's no way to escape the curse. A boundary would've been mentioned... Zelena added the forgetting part to the curse. For all we know she added boudaries as well, since she was only interested in Neal and Regina... Very much doubt that, since again, all of Wonderland was spared, as was Alice's world (which was CONFIRMED by A&E to NOT be our world's Victorian England) and this was during Regina's Curse, and Cora was no longer there to protect them. Still no proof that ZELENA didn't put in the boundaries in SNOW's Curse. But I must admit I too don't know how some places escaped REGINA's Curse (while not in Cora's protection shield) Although, while making the shield, Cora could have, unknowingly, protected not only part of EF, but parts of other realms as well...
