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. Perhaps Magic beans don't exist or are rare in NFTL?

After all, the only portals we have seen in NFTL were randomly occuring ones. They need to get a physicist fast becaue I think too many rips in the space-time continuum is bad for the planet!

Many things are dependent on what they had at the time. Zelena was minding her own business on a farm. Why would she bring the hat? Even if she learned about Drizella's plan, Drizella was a statue and then casted the curse in about a day.

Plus, the curse has been presumably able to reach across magical worlds.
