If you can't locate my post, this is what I was talking about:

3) I placed Avonlea and Maurice’s castle near the north coast of the Enchanted Forest because that’s what is shown on the map at the beginning of Skin Deep. There’s a small figurine on the map that I think represents the castle because there are two rivers near it on the map called Kitsis and Tigelaar that branch off the ocean; and there are two rivers near the castle in the opening shot of the episode. Even though Frozen wasn’t made until 2013, it fits perfectly that Belle’s trip to and from Arendelle took about a week and a half (I assume this because Maurice said he hadn’t slept in days when Belle was gone) because on the map at the beginning of Skin Deep, Maurice’s castle is near the coast and off the coast on the war map are a few large isles (Southern Isles). And we all know that Arendelle is north of both the Southern Isles and the Enchanted Forest because of the map of Arendelle Belle had in Family Business, the fjord that Anna left leads south and the South Isles are obviously south of Arendelle. So, because of the time Belle spent on her journey and based on the war map in Skin Deep, The Southern Isles are north of the coast near Maurice’s castle, and Arendelle is north of the Southern Isles. This is a strange coincidence, because based on the events of Family Business and the isles off the coast on the map, this is a perfect placement for Arendelle and the Southern Isles and Frozen wasn’t made until late 2013, while Skin Deep aired in 2012. Well, the map of Skin Deep would beg to differ. In that map, the coastline is south of the major castle, not north. The funny thing about Arendelle is that we think it's north, or far north of the Enchanted Forest due to its similarities to Norway( or Sweden?). The Southern Isles are assumed to be south of Arendelle, but could simply be the name of the kingdom. Why is it's name relative to Arendelle? Similar, the Northern Kingdom is (very likely) north of the other kingdoms of Misthaven, but is likely south of the kingdoms of Arendelle and its neighbors. Also, ships don't necessarily travel in a straight line in a single direction.

Due to the length of travel, at least to me being (one way trip to Arendelle = 3-5 days because Anna's trip was two weeks, which meant travel to, search for answers, and travel back) and the speed of ships compared to other modes of transport in Enchanted Forest, Arendelle is quite likely hundreds of miles away from Misthaven ports.
