I agree, and I would add Rapunzel in there too, but only to a degree. The age of the CGI princess is really a landmark for Disney, not only have the proven they can animate as well as other companies but they are breaking the molds of what a Princess should be. Having pretty much brought new definition and public opinion to the word they are now steering it into a new, more realistic direction. Rapunzel was weird and quirky but still followed the traditional path of a Disney Princess,  Merida did not, she blew that out of the water and now with Frozen Anna and Elsa perpetuate the advancement. Anna is so strange, and weird, and people love her. She is like Rapunzel on a million pixi stixs. And even though Anna ends up with Kristoff, that is not even a focal point, they make you think it is but by the end of the movie you realize they were toying with you. Elsa is like Merida and she now has an internal conflict as well as external, something other Disney Princess never really had, at least not to her degree and if anything that conveys that a Princess can be deeply flawed. Like I said, they are steering the Princess 'ship' into a whole new world. (See what I did there?)

For a company as old as Disney and with the history that Disney had, they have taken great strides in the revival era. Tiana was much like any Renaissance princess and Rapunzel was a baby step, Merida was a leap and Anna and Elsa are bounds. (Leaps and Bounds) So to answer your question no, Anna, Elsa and Merida are not 'ordinary princesses.'
