Send her $20 with a letter stating that "per our phone conversation of ??/??/????. I am enclosing a check for $20 to cover the cost of notarizing your signature on the previously agreed-to
parenting plan before ??/??/????, which is the date on which our itinerary reservation expires." Enclose a copy of the proposed plan with your signature on it. If she cashes the check, then that would be the equivalent of a signature on the parenting plan, and your check would be evidence that she agreed to the plan, even if she never actually signs.
And if she doesn't cash the check or sign, then at least you'll know for certain that she never will.

Unless the mediation resulted in an agreement, everything that occurred during mediation is privileged and inadmissible as evidence in court. So, you're basically back to square one.

Well, you are not in the position of having to file a motion to modify the parenting plan, on grounds that mediation was attempted and was unsuccessful. So, while the court may enforce your modification, I wouldn't count on it until you have an signed order in your your hand.
You need to nail it down. Call the other parent and tell her your recording the conversation, and that you'd like to know if she agrees with the mediated plan or not, and if so, then why won't she
