not sure if teleports, or different parts of story aren't necessarily taking place concurrently
Surely the amount of time to get together all dany's army and ready ships would have been many weeks. Then again, the time it would have taken to get all those lords together at Winterfell would have been weeks as well.
Come to think of it, all parts of the story were taking jumps in time from one scene to the next.

The parts don't take place concurrently. It is about 600 miles from Winterfell to Castle Black. So a few episodes back when Jon & Co. were riding around the north they would have spent weeks, if not months, traveling around to the various houses. There is no real indicator how much time passes between the various scenes. The events that happened in King's Landing at the beginning of this episode could have happened even before the Battle of the Bastards.
In this episode we get a shot of Varys in Dorne and by the end of it he is on Daenerys' ship. If you look at the various ships in the last few minutes there is at least one Dornish ship with the fleet. So enough time passed from Varys being in Dorne for him to sail back and hook back up with Daenerys. But again because we don't know the exact time line Varys could have left Meereen weeks before the slavers attacked and the events at King's Landing could have happened that same night giving him plenty of time to make his way to Dorne to set up a meeting between Ellaria and Olenna. The whole reason Varys left Meereen could have even been because of what happened in King's Landing and he saw an opportunity to gather more allies for Daenerys.
You could spend days speculating about what happens when and arrive at a lot of seemingly correct conclusions.
