Remains the question: how was she able to transport? Well, she (and everyone else were frozen in time) would have only had a few months since Emma broke the time-portion of the curse when she entered Storybrooke. I believe the curse is layered. Transport curse (one land) + Time stop curse (Storybrooke) + Frozen in place (all lands, except LWM) + Storybrooke creation + Assimilation = Dark Curse

But I don't know how she even travel back to the Enchanted Forest since she gave the shoes away. Magic bean anyone?
