I've been hoping that Neverland might be something more than a couple of episodes. Just like the magic in Rumples dagger, the curse may not have originated from the Enchanted Forest either. To date, there hasn't be any hints to where the curse came from (or components of the curse). That it may have some connection to Neverland is a very interesting idea.

One odd thing, is that Baelfire almost certainly went to Neverland, given that he knows Hook. If the magic that was involved in the curse came from Neverland - how did that get to the Enchanted Forest and Baelfire, for whatever reason, could (or would) not?

The Blue Fairy did seem to imply that a powerful curse was the only way to follow Baelfire. Although, she did also say to Baelfire that the bean would take him to a land without magic.
