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...
