(I ignore what Frozen said since running away as a bandit, meeting Charming, more banditry, forgetfulness, two kingdom wars, two weddings, and a pregnancy in two years is a bit too much for me, especially since that'll mean Regina was full Evil queen reigning for like two years, Plus it wouldn't leave George's kingdom in near poverty if she stopped trading with him for like a month) Even more so, Belle was captures by Regina and the markings are for at least 3 years. Yes, but I think Snow met Charming a year or two after she began her banditry. I agree. The way Anna's adventures in the EF went. She met pre-Charming, went to Rumple, went home, helped Belle, was Frozen after trapping Elsa in the urn (30 years they said-28 of the curse) means two years between Anna's adventures/trapping Elsa and the DC, which makes no sense since Rumple just met Belle and Charming was not even the prince yet. The Elsa/Anna/Ingrid plot is only confusing timeline-wise mainly because of Ingrid arriving in the LWM a year before the Curse. She could've easily been living among her frozen people for a few years, or maybe the portal not only moved her to another land, but another time. After all, Bae arrived in Victorian England in the 1800's, when he realistically should've arrived around the time of the American Revolution, give or take a decade.

(Rumple is 300 as of 2011-2012 according to Bobby himself, meaning he was born 1711-1712, he seems to be around 40-50, so Bae was probably born in Rumple's 30's, meaning 1741-1751. If we add 14 years, Bae's age, to this, we get 1755-1765. And yet he landed in our world approximately 100 years later.)

It seems like so far, they've kept time moving relative to each other everywhere (a week in Neverland is a week in LWM, 28 years in FTL is 28 years in the LWM, etc.). So the only true problems here are ages. Ana could easily be in her mid 20's now, and have been 18 or 19 when she first became Queen. That solves why she met Alice as a child, but still looks the same now. But it does seem like they'll have to retcon Cinderella's story a bit. Either that, or somehow have Ella and Thomas ripped apart for years, Belle-caught-by-the-Evil-Queen style. Because there's no way they can explain away the fact that Ana was Queen for at least 8 years before the Curse and still be Cinderella's stepsister about 2-3 years before the Curse (don't forget, Rumple kills Ella/George's fairy godmother immediately after collecting Charming for George).
