Can you gate her into her room? That's what I did (still do). You'd basically have to CIO all over which will suck 10,000 times more at 2.5 than it did when they were babies. But I think it would be your best chance of working.
You could supernanny her and walk her back to bed without saying a word (bedtime and MOTN), but that seems like it would take a lot longer than CIO.
This is us right now with DS who is 2. We put a baby gate on the door. Night one he cried for a ridiculous amount of time (I went to him and told him to go back to bed; I couldn't leave him there crying all alone) but his MOTN wake ups have severely decreased - we have had one in the last 2 weeks.
We tried the supernanny walk back to bed a million times and OMG it sucks. We finally gated him in and that worked inp two nights. Now we only put the gate up on bad nights if he just won't stay in bed otherwise he's good until his clock turns green.

We are in the same boat, I am thinking about getting the ok to wake clock. It would be fine if she actually slept in our bed but she just comes in to chat, sing songs, and kick us.
All three of mine went through this exhausting annoying stage.
The only thing that helped was basically letting them Pick where they fell asleep. They preferred a sleeping bag on their floor, in the hall, or on my bedroom floor. I have no idea why they wouldn't sleep on their bed, but all 3 had the same quirk so I can only assume it isn't just them. I would just put them in bed when I went to sleep. And in the middle of the night they could sleep in a sleeping bag by my bed if they woke up. They all also hate falling asleep with the lights off. They all fall asleep with bedside lights on and soothing music (classical) playing.
It does eventually get better, but it's not a quick stage IME.
