I was going to write a great big response, and I replied to a couple people already, but it's on the eighth page and I decided to pontificate in my journal anyway because this triggered a whole big train of thought. So I'll cut short my teal deer.

Pocahontas arguably does deserve it more, yes. However, the Princesses play a specific story role, and Alice's was pretty much to be a Plot Victim. From a design, thematic, and storytelling perspective, Alice and Wonderland fit the needs of "first world on your journey!" better than Pocahontas and her world would have.

Also, being a princess and being a Princess of Heart don't necessarily correspond. Alice isn't the only one who's not an actual princess, they THOUGHT Wendy might be despite her not being an actual princess, and there's at least one actual princess who didn't get Princess of Heart status.

It's your right to be displeased with it, but there's actually some pretty good reasons why they picked Alice.
