As much as I know the creators have said "no time travel" (in regards to the White Rabbit and, I'm sure, in regards to this) there's really only two explanations: other worlds are created by what the people in the World Without Magic imagine happens or there actually is time travel. Nope, it is not time travel. Though, Peter Pan implied that magic was fueled by "our world's" belief.... then again, he could have been lying.

Further, in the French version, the daughter of the Sleeping Beauty is named "L'Aurore". Exactly.... Disney does own ABC ;)

Walt Disney was influenced by Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Ballet, when adapting the fairytale. Tchaikovsky named his sleeping beauty, Aurora.... after the princess's daughter, in the French version. Plus, Disney named Phillip, after Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.

Though, if I recall.... Sleeping Beauty was named Briar Rose, in the Brothers Grimm version. Which Disney later used, as Princess Aurora's pseudonym. I can imagine, that OUaT's Aurora mother being named Briar Rose. Her father would still be, King Stefan. Time travel is the logical explanation as to why these same fairytales were known for hundreds of years. Alsoas stated in another comment. Time travel was hinted on this show.

When Regina used Jefferson's hat to retrieve the apple just after Snow bit it.

Or maybe it's not time travel. But whats 1983 in land w/o magic is really the 1600's in E.F.

or their present is our past. :)
