Also, in “Manhattan” there was that exchange between Rumple and Baelfire in which Rumple wanted to turn back the clock so that Bae would become 14 again and forget his painful memories. To this, Baelfire exasperatedly exclaimed, “Fourteen! I don’t want to be fourteen again! Are you insane?” Neal likely spent centuries stuck in perpetual adolescence, and probably had to work really hard to grow up by staying in our land.
Especially the “I don’t want to be 14 again!” line. If he was stuck as a 14 yr old for 250+ years he wouldn’t want to go back.

All the green really stood out to me too. If not Neverland/Peter Pan, I’m think Neal could have connections to Oz… maybe the Wizard. There would be a lot of irony there, considering the Wizard wasn’t magic like he was thought to be.
I hope Bael is involved with Neverland/Peter Pan material, but you never know with K&H. The dream catcher is definitely more of a Peter Pan reference I think. He could have met the Indians (not meaning to be rascist) in Neverland and learned to make them. Maybe we’ll see Tiger Lilly as a character!
I think the problem with Oz is that people age in Oz, at least traditionally. It’s not like Neverland where people can stay young forever.
