I agree to have her try the thawed milk (from DH when you're not home) to see if she'll drink it. I don't have lactase issues, but DS (18 mon this Sat; nursing both sides 4x/day--good sessions) started protesting and refusing pumped milk around 9 months (while still nursing 8+x/day)...fresh or thawed...bottle or cup...warm or cold...if it wasn't from the boob he didn't want it.
Around 13 months we tried other milks (cow, almond) in a cup instead while I was at work (few days/month). He does much better w/those... So yeah--if your dd will drink it, just pump what you can each day over the next 5 wks. If you are consistent w/ when you pump, your body will start making extra then. If your DD won't drink it, pump while you're away to maintain supply but leave her w/ an alternative milk. GL!

Re: building supply at 16 months
I've just started taking sprouted fenugreek seeds to help with milk production for my 8 mo old. I found out about it on a blog when I was doing research on new ideas for increasing supply. It's called mamaandbabylove.com and it's the post from March 7th, 2012. Anyway, she tried it and said it worked much better than the fenugreek capsules, which I've been doing for months. I found the seeds for sprouting at wheatgrasskits.com and it's super easy to sprout them. Then I snack on a small hand full of them a day. I read somewhere not to eat too many. I think it is helping already and I've been doing it for a couple days (it takes a couple days just to sprout the seeds). Also, if you need to travel with the breast milk, you could freeze it and bring it back in Playtex Fridge-To-Go Bottle Holder - Double (can find at amazon). I just did this on a long international flight, but in checked baggage. I also had to have some on the plane with me and it got through security just fine, just declare it. Hopefully your flight isn't too long and you'd be able to get them back in the freezer within 6 hours or so. I think mine lasted just fine for about 8 hours.

Over drink water, eat fresh granola with oatmeal and flax seed. Drink a dark beer every other day.

Good luck! I have had really good luck with pumping first thing in the morning. And if I am lucky enough to sleep in, I get WAY less. For me, 6:00 is magical. It's my biggest pump of the day.
