Trivia
On-Screen Notes=

On-Screen Notes

 * The statue of King David and Queen Snow in the Wish Realm is featured in the title card for "Wish You Were Here".
 * According to Edward Kitsis, the Wish Realm only consists of "an alternate Enchanted Forest".
 * According to Adam Horowitz, the Wish Realm is a "realm that was created by the wish, so it's an actual place that exists now. The wish has created it, so it's not an alternate realm in the sense that it's just imaginary and not real; this place actually now exists and is real".
 * The river that Emma and Regina stop by is the same altered location where Prince Charming and Snow White first decided to "take back the kingdom". This can easily be seen from direction of the trees. But it is not known if these two places are meant to be same since the latter does not have the Royal Castle behind and there seems to be no mountain.
 * The tavern where Regina and her serum counterpart both find Robin of Locksley is the Wish Realm version of the Enchanted Forest tavern where Queen Regina and Tinker Bell found the real Robin Hood in "Quite a Common Fairy". The two buildings share the same facade.
