Using a magic bean wouldn't have been easier. In season 7 it seems they have plenty of them. And, unlike the wardrobe, all of the them could have traveled to SB or the EF.

Or even more, use the Hat. Zelena had it in 6x22. travelling to a different realm wouldn't have been enough. have you forgotten that the curse can take people from different realms (e.g frankenstein). Yeah, but without Herny/Regina in NEF, there would be no curse. I meant they should have left after Gothel and the coven freed Drizella

And you can use magic to protect yourself from the curse anyway

The first Dark Curse had to take Hook to the LWM, but he was able to protect himself with Cora's spell (2x09)
