Ok, here goes nothing.....

I think they've grown accustomed to Storybrooke and now consider it home. It is where Emma and Henry are from, they would probably prefer to stay in the land they grew up in. If you think about how many characters are related to them one way or another and how they would miss them if they went back to EF, it makes sense that they would all just stay.

That's the best answer I can think of, besides them just being lethargic                                          after too many adventures :P
