ABC and Disney probably have plenty of sources to obtain some canned footage of London, Paris, Rome, etc. and all it would take is probalby 1-2 seconds, just enough to plant the setting in the viewer's mind.

Let's face it. I don't think ABC has the budget to travel to Arendelle (wait that's a bad example, the CGI is horrid there). the EF, or Neverland. But they make us BELEIVE that is where we are. and that is the real key. Fair enough. They could always use canned footage of Europe and put Regina and Henry in it as well, or create some small sets that are authentic, like a Parisian cafe. So yes, it's do-able.
