'''I previously thought that it was only the Enchanted Forest that was affected by the Curse. However, for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland to make sense without time travel, Wonderland and Alice's World had to have been frozen in time as well. Or else Alice wouldn’t have been born to see the Queen of Hearts or the Mad Hatter in Wonderland.'''

 * Time freezes in all the Lands including Wonderland and Alice's Land.

28 A.C.



 * Emma decides to stay in Storybrooke and the Curse weakens allowing time to resume in all the Lands.
 * The White Rabbit finds Knave in Storybrooke and tells him that Alice needs help.
 * Alice (21-22) is assessed by Dr. Lydgate and his colleagues to diagnose her and decide to try a procedure8.
 * Knave and Rabbit rescue Alice.
 * Alice returns to Wonderland to find Cyrus.

Point 1
I determined the timeline by Snow White’s age. She was approximately 8 years when she was rescued and 28 when the Cursed was casted. Therefore the Queen of Hearts’ reign occurred within that time.

Point 2
The writers have said OUaTiW occurs after "Alice in Wonderland" in which Alice was just a girl. So I assume her first visit was as a girl. And Dr Lydgate speaks of her experiences as a girl AND a young woman. It seems like she was there several years. It is unknown if she aged during her period in Wonderland. If she did age then she did not realise it.

Point 3
Grace is born during this time period because she is approximately 10 years old when the Curse occurred.

Point 4
Rumplestiltskin may have visited the world of Wonderland due to his description of Wonderland during the episode "We Are Both" and his knowledge pertaining to the Looking Glass. Although all this info may have come from his hired portal jumper, Jefferson.

Point 5
I determined Alice’s age by the casting call given for Alice which describes her as “twentysomething”. Also by the age of the actress, Sophie Lowe (23).

Point 6
If the Knave of Hearts in Once Upon a Time is the same as the Knave of Hearts (Will) in OUaTiW, he is just recasted, then Alice could only have retrieved his heart and freed him after Hook attempts to assassinate the Queen of Hearts because he is still at the Queen’s side at that time. Unless, the Queen has had different “Knaves” throughout her reign. In that case, Alice would have had to have rescued him before Jefferson became the Mad Hatter for the same reason which easier could have been during her first visit. Alice did say, "Once long ago I got you back your heart..."

Point 7
Jack mentions in Tiny that she defeated a Jabberwock and met a "wise" woman. I believe this is during Alice's 2nd visit since the Jabberwock is only present in the "Alice in Wonderland" sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass" (Alice's 2nd visit). And if the wise woman is Alice then it again confirms it was the second visit because Alice was much older then.

Point 8
Alice was in the care of Dr. Lydgate for a year according to the first episode. So Alice’s time in the institution would have begun slightly before the curse up to the time in which the curse was broken with the doctors believing that those 28 years, in fact, was just one year. We can also see an example of this in the episode "Broken" when Aurora wakes up thinking only a year has passed but in fact it has been 28 years.
