Just apply to all that she is considering, see where she gets in and does not get it, then go and visit in the spring. There's plenty of time.
This is especially true for high academic numbers students. Because no matter who you are, at the very top schools admissions is very unpredictable.

Because we'll be there for my nieces Bat Mitzvah already so the flights are already covered and we need hotel for the entire time anyway rather than going back a second time.

She did not even want to talk to Alabama and after our visit there she loved the place.

There are benefits to early admit / commit, and a lot of schools want that before / around the end of this year.

I think you'll find that once she has actual admissions in hand, 80%+ of the schools she visited will have been a waste of time.

I don't agree. i would visit as many schools and I could. How can you tell a good campus experience from a bad one if you don't have some basis of comparison?

Of course you visit.
You just do it after you have actual admission letters in hand.
